Bottom line
SW1A trades at a small premium for the political-and-royal cachet. W1A has more genuine residential character (schools, families, gardens). For owner-occupiers buying a home rather than a trophy, W1A is the better quality of life. For investment hold, SW1A's diplomatic-and-government demand is more recession-resilient. Yields are similar low single-digits; the buy is about what you want to live next to.
