With a sovereign wealth fund as big as $256bn, all it takes Qatar to snap up London assets is the snap of a finger.

Be it Harrods or One Hyde Park or the Shard, Qatar has its name sealed on many of London’s iconic assets.

Take a look at these 10 events that prove that Qatar has officially taken over London.

1. Qataris own £1bn of property in Mayfair

According to research from estate agent Rokstone, a new “Qatari Quarter” has started to develop in Mayfair thanks to Qataris buying swathes of luxury property in the area. The hottest addresses in the area are Park Lane, Green Street, Mount Street, Upper Grosvenor Street, Upper Brook Street and Reeves Mews.

Becky Fatemi, Rokstone’s managing director said: “On the North West side of Mayfair property covering almost a quarter of the district’s 279 acres is now the West End address of choice for Qatari and other Gulf state end user buyers and tenants.

“The ‘Oil Royals’ and wealthy families from the Middle East view Mayfair as a luxury village and their favourite place in London, alongside Knightsbridge, for luxury shopping, dining out and leisure. Over two-thirds of Mayfair residents typically eat out 3-4 times per week and Middle East residents spend on average £1,900 per shop.”

2. Qatar owns 34% of the top 15 most expensive skyscrapers in London

Last month, a study by big data company GeoPhy found that Qatar-based entities currently own 34% of the top 15 most expensive skyscrapers in London whereas UK companies own just 21%.

Back in 2004 all the top 15 London skyscrapers were owned by UK companies.

6. Lord Sugar sells Burberry’s old London HQ to Qataris for £65m

According to The Times, Sugar purchased the property for £31.5m from a mysterious Russian investor two years before the deal.
