No one who works for their money.
Someone who either owns one or more successful companies or bought property when it was cheap, or a bit of both.
I know of people who bought similar places in Dalston when it was a real slum at 90k a pop, they are now worth about £1.5 mil each.

I have a friend who’s parents bought him a run-down Victorian house off Clapton roundabout for peanuts, back when it was ‘murder mile’, with shootings/stabbings outside Chimes nightclub almost every weekend. We used to come back to his after squat raves to find the road cordoned off regularly...
He slowly turned the basement into a flat, sold that for £600K, and the 3-storey house above is now worth £1mil.
ectoplasmosis
Who can afford that, without winning the lottery?
It’s lush, but so expensive for the fact you still have neighbours both sides....
