A studio flat believed to be the most expensive in Britain has gone on the market for £1.85million – but with just 552sq ft of floor space, the property only has a shower and no bath.  

Located in London’s upmarket Knightsbridge, the flat has a 24-hour concierge, secure underground parking space, valet parking and looks out onto landscaped gardens.

Residents also have access to a 20-metre swimming pool, gym and health spa and business suites.

But the property is so small that each square foot will cost the new owner an eye-watering £3,351. The UK’s average home costs just £282 per sq ft, rising to £562 in London.
