| London's Marylebone is booming. Christened "the new Notting Hill", its High Street was voted the capital's best shopping street in the Time Out Shopping Awards 2004. The area's revitalisation is partly due to Howard de Walden Estates, which owns about 110 acres there and recorded £31.1m profit in 2003-04. The family is led by Czernin, 69, eldest of four daughters of Lord Howard de Walden, who died in 1999. Family trusts also own the Welbeck Land Company, a property developer. With central London prices up slightly in the past year, we raise our valuation of the family's business assets to £1.3 billion, adding £100m for past dividends and other property. |
