it's very boring
i live in a west london mansion block. many years ago, they were 5 bedroom apartments, with 3 room servant's quarters*. so my flat and the one next door were originally one giant flat. this is why the internet refers to it as a "half flat".

* the people who own the whole flat underneath me are an italian count and his wife. they still have the original lay-out, including all the bells for servants etc, and it is genuinely fantastic, interesting to see how it all worked.

Yes everyone wants to live in zone one, with the population density of a cattle truck and stuffed full of brown people and traffic fumes, yes it all makes sense now.
