(green spaces, celebrity residents, high-end independent schools)
Islington – Highgate
(wooded high ground, views, period homes)
Hammersmith & Fulham – Brook Green
(tree-lined Victorian streets, top schools)

(and so on, for each borough, matching with the highest posh ranking by borough from Timeout list)
5. Borough Planning Guidance Links
