It is a mansion fit for a king - or even a tsar.Not content with the dozens of houses he already owns around the world, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has now submitted plans to create the most expensive private residence in Britain.

Spread across two stucco-fronted properties in Lowndes Square in London, the eight-bedroom building is expected to be worth up to £150million when completed. For Chelsea football club owner Abramovich, whose £14billion fortune makes him the 15th richest person in the world, the house will be a measure of his vast wealth and an opulent expression of his personal style.
