For more than a century, Bishops Avenue─a street lined with gracious Arts and Crafts houses close to London's Hampstead Heath─has maintained a reputation as the address of choice for some of the wealthiest people in Europe.
主教大道(Bishops Avenue)位于伦敦汉普斯特公园(Hampstead Heath)附近,街道两侧坐落着很多奢华的艺术品和手工艺品店。一个多世纪以来,这条大道一直是欧洲最富有的部分人群首选的置业地点,曾在主教大道安家的知名人物包括创建了以自己名字命名的连锁度假村的比利·巴特林(Billy Butlin)以及糖业巨头亚伯兰·莱尔(Abram Lyle)。
But recently, the street nicknamed 'Billionaire's Row' has become known for something else: shiny new megamansions packed with toys like spa complexes and movie theaters. Trevor Abrahmsohn, managing director of Glentree International, who has been selling homes on the avenue for 38 years, estimates that half of the original houses on the street─once home to residents like Billy Butlin, founder of an eponymous chain of vacation resorts, and sugar magnate Abram Lyle─have been razed and replaced with such edifices in recent years.
但近来这条绰号“富翁街(Billionaire's Row)的大道却增加了其他的一些元素:光鲜亮丽的新建大型豪宅,并配备有水疗中心以及电影院等各类娱乐设施。豪宅交易中介机构Glentree International的董事总经理特雷弗·亚伯拉索恩(Trevor Abrahmsohn)估计,近年来主教大道上原有的老房子中有一半被夷为平地,被上述这些新建筑所取代。亚伯拉索恩销售主教大道房产已有38年。
