St John's Wood
St John's Wood is where London's money goes when it wants a garden and a doorman in the same postcode. Every day a fresh coach party stops the traffic on the Abbey Road zebra crossing to recreate an album cover from 1969, while the people in the villas behind them pretend not to notice for the four-thousandth time. In summer, the egg-and-bacon ties from Lord's turn up as a second wave of pilgrims. The residents put up with both, because a neighbourhood the whole world wants to photograph and almost nobody can afford to join is the best security a house price ever had.
