If you’ve ever wondered what paying almost £40,000 a month for a flat gets you in the UK, the answer is a property on London’s ‘most prestigious square’.
For a mere £9,500 a week, you can live in a three-bedroomed flat in Eaton Square – a place that’s been called home by Prime Ministers, celebrities and all manner of seriously rich people.
Notable past residents include Prime Ministers, Neville Chamberlain and Stanley Baldwin, as well as British actress, Vivien Leigh and even the original James Bond, Sean Connery.

The stunning flat, which features on What’s The Jam, is full of period features including two working fireplaces, wooden flooring, and large, bright windows.
The apartment boasts two living rooms, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two private balconies.
It also comes with a gorgeous view of the square itself, and tenants will get to enjoy Eaton Square gardens and tennis courts as part of the price.
Raj Gill, the founder of Knightsbridge Prime Property, who recently listed the flat, said it will be a “huge attraction to those seeking a new home”.
He said: “I love this location and property; we are privileged and excited to present such a beautiful home in the heart of Eaton Square.

“With its rich history and scenic views, there is no doubt this property will be a huge attraction to those seeking a new home.”
As you’d probably want and expect for the whopping price, the property has Royal connections too, and is named after Eaton Hall in Cheshire – the Duke of Westminster’s Country Home.
It was built after Buckingham House was converted into a palace for King George IV, to give you an idea of the grandeur its designers probably had in mind.

To put the flat’s price into context, the average yearly salary in the UK is £34,900 – so most of the country couldn’t afford to rent this flat for even a month.
But if you are interested, it is currently available with Knightsbridge Prime Property for £9,500 a week.
