The space is listed with property consultants Knight Frank who describe it as “a rare opportunity to purchase a private parking space for one car, located behind the prestigious Hyde Park Gardens and ideally located for the transport links of the M1.” It adds that it is: "perfectly positioned for the arrival of Crossrail in 2018."
It is believed that the most expensive UK car parking space in history is one which sold in South Kensington for £480,000. However, a central Manhattan parking space is believed to hold the world title for the most costly car space after it sold for $1 million.
