note

KBE 2012; Lord Cadogan was the second richest UK-based peer behind the Duke of Westminster - it is said if so minded he could take a proprietorial stroll from Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge down Sloane Street to Chelsea and the Kings Road without ever having to step off his own land;  from the Daily Telegraph: "His property empire covered 93 acres of one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods, comprising more than 3,000 houses and apartments, 300 shops, 500,000 square feet of office space, nine hotels, seven schools, five embassies and a similar number of churches. Streets, squares and halls all bore his name on the Cadogan estate, which has been in the family for 300 years.  It was once said that "if something doesn't move in Chelsea, the Cadogan family probably owns it.""
