Coronation rents soar as costly view houses draw buyers
The article notes extraordinary rents for coronation season in London, with James Street letting to a wealthy American for $5,000 per day and properties around Grosvenor Square from $10,000 to $25,000 for the season. Belgravia, Hyde Park, and Bayswater areas show rents from $2,500 to $5,600 for larger houses, while agents warn such “fancy rents” may deter tenants and flood hotels, predicting a rental slump unless prices moderates. Historical price comparisons trace coronation seat costs from medieval times to Georgian eras, illustrating rising, then varying, public demand and comfort with royal pageants.
