Fashionable residential street

If you are a Monopoly (the game) fan, you've certainly heard of Park Lane. But what you probably don't know is that some of the world-renowned hotels lining the street, were once the largest privately owned mansions in London (Duke of Westminster's Grosvenor House and The Dorchester, for example).

Despite its five stars hotels, luxury restaurants and its fashionable boutiques, and despite the Monopoly fame, Park Lane is not the second most expensive in London, but probably the second busiest and noisiest road.
