Luxury Apartments to Rent in London: Areas, Costs and What to Expect

In short: Luxury rentals in London are concentrated in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea, Marylebone and Kensington, with modern amenity-rich towers at Nine Elms, Battersea, the South Bank and Canary Wharf. Expect 24-hour concierge, gyms, pools and screening rooms in newer buildings, and period grandeur in traditional areas. Where annual rent is £50,000 or more, the deposit cap rises from five to six weeks' rent. The best homes go quickly, so have references and funds ready.
