World's most expensive one-bedroom flat!!

A perfect first time home, one-bedroom apartment in the centre of Tokyo. Living room, formal dining room and casual dining room, kitchen, bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe...sounds ideal, well be ready to shell out a rather steep £15million for the pleasure!!
It has been beautifully furnished by the owner and the stunning interior features the best products and materials.


412 square meter penthouse on the 10th floor












Worth the price tag?

A new hotel has opened its doors in Knightsbridge to accommodate those that can afford to spend £1000 per night for a basic hotel room, let alone the penthouse at £14,400 a night!!!
The Bvlgari Hotel in London's Knightsbridge is plonked right opposite the One Hyde Park multimillion pound development where flats have sold for tens of millions is THE most expensive place to stay in the whole of Britain.

Book Alert!!!

I picked this book up a couple of weeks ago and at £12.99 I think it was a great buy. For a student like me or for professionals it has details of good exhibitions, architectural gems, retail fitouts and restaurant wonders that should be visited. And the fact that it lasts for two years makes it even more useful, well worth the investment.
Get yourself down to London town, or check out the website londondesignguide ahead of your trip!
