Most students in London live in halls of residence for a year, before moving onto a cramped house-share.

However, for the world's richest families, finding student accommodation for their sons and daughters is not only easy, it's also an exercise in luxury.

80 Park Lane in Mayfair - one of the most affluent places in London - just went on the market with luxury estate agent Wetherell and is targeted at accommodating wealthy foreign students.

While the property is worth £12.5 million, Wetherell says the owners are only focused on renting it out, rather than selling. It is perhaps unsurprising because the owners are asking £4,000 per week in rent. This works out at £16,000 per month and £192,000 per year in rent.

Wetherell told Business Insider that 80% of the enquiries have come from students from the Gulf region aged 16-21 and that the advertised rent is "standard student digs rent money to them."
