The value of homes in the Chelsea neighborhood gained 10.5 percent in the year through June, according to London-based Savills Plc. That’s the most of any neighborhood, said Lucian Cook, the broker’s director of research, in an e-mailed statement.

“Together with South Kensington, it benefitted from interest from French buyers in a flight from euro-zone woes and the threat of punitive taxes at home, giving a real boost to the best addresses,” Cook said.

Russian, Indian, Italian, U.S. and French nationals were the biggest buyers from overseas, Knight Frank said. Foreign buyers accounted for 41 percent of prime London homes purchased for 1 million pounds or more.

Values have risen 51 percent to a record since March 2009, the low point for London’s prime residential market after the financial crisis, according to the
report.
