LONDON HOUSE RENTS.
High Prices Paid in the English
Capital.
lEr.m -Bifs-A


Pretty nearly every body understands of
course. that house rents are very consid-
erably greater in London than they are in
provincial towns. and that In the me
tropolis they vary greatly and are very
stiff in the regions in which society hov-
ers Few Lundoners have much idea of the
enormous figures paid for the rentals Of
fashionable houses in BelgTayia and May
fair or realize how few square yards of
the West End it takes to produce million
sterling in this way.
Now. take. to start with Park lane That
highly fashionable ihorCughflre. 1t is
rather staggering to learn that $JUo0o a
year l. really not al all a very cXtravagant
rent to pay for a good house i'm this quarter.
The plain simple fact of the matter IS
however. that you cannot get decent
house here for less than sl5 Goo and even
such one would only have three or four
bedrooms. and generally speaking would
not have a greater accommodation than a
house at $3.50 or $500 year in the suburbs,
or at half that price in q provincial town.
Grosvenor Square and Berkeley Square
are renowned headquarters of society.
which pays aStonishingiy for its residence
there.
Consider the former first The whole
square comprises fewer than sixty houses,
but ii y fact that their combined an
nual rental is about S150.0 Gee Big as The
rents are. getting a house there is a mat
ter OF great difficulty and seldom is there
one TO let for long. Nothing can be got
for less than S.. 600 year, and from this
figure an intending tenant may 60 up TO
$50 600 a year.
Berkeley Square is likewise difficult TO
get into. II is rather uld-fashioned aud Sc
we're. and the average man or woman from
the country might not be able TO see any
thing about the houses which would JUS
tify heavy drain being made upon a ten
ants pocket. But, all the same, houses
here are always at a premium, and you
will not get much of residence for $500
a year nor yet so far as that goes. is the
accommodation very astonishing If 10000
a year is paid.
ST. James Square is another ultra fash
ionable quarter which a millionaire might
have to wait years to get into il he desired
10 live there-$15 900 or S20000 a year is
quite a moderate rent for a house 50 stu
ated-while Norfolk house where the
Duke of Norfolk resides. and such others
as Lord Derby residence al No. 81, would
easily realize S50.000 year in rent.
Carlton House Terrace where statesmen
and ambassadors live. also costs its Ten
ants dearly AT least 500 900 a year must
be paid for anything good in this particu-
lar neighborhood. and Mr.. AstOr gave more
than 5000 600 when he purchased one of the
houses in the terrace formerly occupied
by Lord Granville. Yet the ordinary man
would remark that the houses are not even
semi-detached. and that out wardly. at all
events they are from imposing.
