The Streets of Nigeria's Elite (Lagos)

Ikoyi is Nigeria's most expensive neighbourhood. An exclusive island in Lagos first laid out by British colonists, it has become an area for the elite. Originally residential, it now compromises office towers, luxury hotels and sports clubs.

Join us as we explore some of the most famous streets on foot, meeting some of the parallel communities living and working alongside the gated compounds. It's what makes Lagos, Lagos.

In Part 2 (of 2), we start around Queen's Drive (Oyinkan Abayomi Dr), the home of banking leaders, the British Deputy High Commissioner and a Lebanese business tycoon. Walking along Bourdillon we get up close to the most iconic house of the Jagaban himself, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, before a quick trim and game of Baba Ijebu. At the end of a long day, it's the exclusive and discreet George Hotel on Lugard Avenue for a well deserved bit of food.

Hope you enjoying watching. Thank you everyone who watched part one, it really meant a huge amount to me.
