Interesting
Not many peopke know about the wealthy areas in London when compared to NYC or LA, and their wealthy areas and properties.
London has some extremely expensive property and the thread is about the filthy rich in London or NYC, so I am simply informing the OP, who also recently started a thread on where the wealthy London areas were in the UK forum area.
I have more than contributed to helping him in his request for such information.

Which is a better City if you're filthy rich: London or New York?
Yeah, sorry I didn't vote because the way I see it and feel about it is...if one is "filthy rich" both London and New York are equally attractive. I would have no qualms having residency in both London and New York.
Yes, I realize that was not an option in the poll but...that is my answer.
London in 2019 is great for rich people esp from overseas. Nyc used to be great for rich people. In 1900 it seemed as if most streets in nyc were lined with massive hulking mansions while old humble dutch hoses from the 17th and 18th and very early 19th centuries were bring razed at rapid rates. London 100 years ago was still quaint in a lot of areas while on the other hand in the east end it had a lot of squalid slums that nyc managed to get rid of completely in the 1880s!!!
This is really hard for me. I was raised in NYC and it will always have a special place in my heart. I love the diversity of food and culture I find there, much of which you an also find in London to be fair. I visited London in 2015 absolutely loved it, too. I think it may come down to familiarity for me, so NYC MIGHT win out. But I'm not 100% sure.
I have gotten to know several people with means who simply live in both. It is very common for someone to live in one and have a pied-à-terre in the other, or have hopped back and forth for work or family, spending a few years chiefly in one, then the other.
I suppose, personally, I would make NYC my primary residence. It has a certain soul and aesthetic that I like, and getaways to the mountains, the shore, and forests are easier, but I would spend a lot of time in London (and the UK in general) if I could, since I am a bit of an Anglophile.
NYC wins I guess because this is a US forum so it is bound to be a bit biased.
NY XMAS is the best, at least from Movie, I need to experience it.
