I just came to get my German passport and meeting a law firm for lunch here.
I know this sounds ridiculous but it is MENTAL how fooking monied absolutely everything is here. The Waitrose is like a palace. Even the newsagents is well-heeled. Everyone saunters around absolutely REEKING of money. What do all these people do?

In most cases, they don’t “do” anything or at least don’t need salaried existence.
A mix of old money with substantial private income, international oligarchs and maybe some very HNW entrepeneur types.
Just possibly a few fat cat bankers and US law firm partners renting there.

It's not on the map - that way the riff riff can't find it.

I can guarantee you they will be no happier than the denzines of a reasonably comfortable suburb so take some solace in that.

worked there for 6 months.
good range of pubs there - Thomas cubitt, nags head, grenadier.
but the restaurants are mostly properly up themselves. ditto the waitrose.
a former colleague had a town house about 1 road away the other side of cadogan square. he'd bought it as the basement had it's own front door...so the kids could be "independent"

Went to Zaffarano restaurant. Very pleasant. Sort of summed the whole thing up that the table next to us was someone celebrating being knighted this morning. Was there in his morning suit and with his red-ribboned gong around his neck.
