    Cross the road from the rotting Tower and Jersey House feels a million miles away. The electronic gates swing open on a rebuilt £38m, seven-bedroom mansion with silk carpets and limestone floors. The suited housekeeper turns on ambient music and reveals a six-metre-high hall with shimmering bauble chandelier. A fur is tossed over a chaise longue to create a Downton Abbey ambience.

Books are scattered around like heavy hints: The Richest of the Rich and The Villas of the Riviera.

    A third of the mansions on the most expensive stretch of London's 'Billionaires Row' are standing empty, including several huge houses that have fallen into ruin after standing almost completely vacant for a quarter of a century.
    Am investigation has revealed there are an estimated £350m worth of vacant properties on the most prestigious stretch of The Bishops Avenue in north London, which last year was ranked as the second most expensive street in Britain.
    The empty buildings include a row of 10 mansions worth £73m which have stood largely unused since they were bought between 1989 and 1993, it is believed on behalf of members of the Saudi royal family.

    Inside Billionaires Row: London's rotting, derelict mansions worth £350m The North London street where billionaires can buy homes, never live in them, let them rot and still make millions
    Bishops Ave houses. Number 33.



    A third of the mansions on the most expensive stretch of London's 'Billionaires Row' are standing empty, including several huge houses that have fallen into ruin after standing almost completely vacant for a quarter of a century.
    An investigation has revealed there are an estimated £350m worth of vacant properties on the most prestigious stretch of The Bishops Avenue in north London, which last year was ranked as the second most expensive street in Britain.
    The empty buildings include a row of 10 mansions worth £73m which have stood largely unused since they were bought between 1989 and 1993, it is believed on behalf of members of the Saudi royal family.
    Exclusive access to now derelict properties has revealed that their condition is so poor in some cases that water streams down ballroom walls, ferns grow out of floors strewn with rubble from collapsed ceilings, and pigeon and owl skeletons lie scattered across rotting carpets.
