London Estates

For as long as I can remember, I have known that the richest man in the land is The Duke of Westminster. For the record, I've never met him. I can claim the acquaintance with two of his nieces, both of whom are cherubs.

I am not from the world of property. By the process of osmosis, I have learned something about the London Estates. The Grosvenor Estate, The Crown Estate, The Cadogan Estate, The Bedford Estate, The Howard de Walden Estate, The Portman Estate, The Wellcome Estate, The Ilchester Estate, The Grafton Estate, The Colville Estate and property owned by the property entrepreneurs the Beckwith brothers, the Barclay brothers, the Tchenguiz brothers and British Land (the Ritblats).
