London Map - Very Rich (Chelsea, Kensington, Mayfair) and the rest! Same today as it was in 1800. We - one day may be we will live in the Very Rich part - we've alway fancied a flat in Mayfair (can't get much better - no wander it's so expensive - it's a such super place...)

IQ Map of the World - for your interest - frankly we're not sure whether this map has any merits but its of interest all the same. It compares incomes versus IQ. In theory, the higher the income, the better the education and the higher the IQ (and higher the house prices). This is going a bit far we admit, but education is a key factor in both incomes/business and hence house prices.

One interesting observation though is that China has a relatively low income but the highest IQ - so expect house prices in China too shoot up in the next 20 years as the country industrialises - the improving eduation, hard work and new business will benefit the country hugely.
