New owner sought for 'one of the most historic townhouses in London'

Savills reports a busy few weeks in Hampstead and St John's Wood, with buyers snapping up blue-plaque houses, trophy homes and a £13.5mn mansion conversion project.

Record-breaking sales, resurgent international demand and a surprise winner among the capital's super-prime neighbourhoods - but buyers are still calling the shots.

The St John's Wood street has notched up almost £100mn of house sales in the past 12 months.
