I suppose most people here have already thought about this, but how will the private equity bust affect London house prices? Alot of the London rises have been driven top down with the Billionaire Boys Club forcing the upper end of the market sky high. This then knocks the rich locals down to the next level, forcing up prices there, and so on down the like.

What happens when Canary Wharf goes back to being a ghost town like back in the early 90's now that the party's over? Perhaps prices will bomb from the top down as the billionaires go bust or bog off elsewhere? Just a thought.
