This luxury apartment overlooking Hyde Park could be the world's most expensive student digs after an American teenager snapped up the chance to rent one of the homes, which are being offered at a staggering £21,000 a month.

A 19-year-old fashion design student has signed up to let one of the six lavish homes on offer, billed as 'London's ultimate student pads', from Mayfair estate agents Wetherell.

Marketed towards wealthy overseas students, homes are available from £9,000 a month but the top-priced apartment at the super-posh Fountain House is going for £5,250 a week - or £21,000 a month.

Far from the squalid quarters where most graduates lived out their student years, the apartments come with a spacious living area with woodstrip flooring and mood lighting, an open plan kitchen and breakfast room and Juliet balconies overlooking Hyde Park.

Peter Wetherell, Chief Executive of Wetherell, said: “These newly refurbished apartments provide the perfect turn-key luxury-let and are available for immediate occupation.

"They would be perfect for a wealthy student, or are ideal for a City stockbroker, successful lawyer or couple wanting a London home.

"This is part of Mayfair’s residential revival, these properties are reverting back after decades of use as offices.”
