The five most popular articles on Spear’s last week

The five most popular articles on Spear’s last week: sea bed for sale, farmland for sale and lesser-known Michelin-starred restaurants

1. This beautiful piece of seabed is yours for £900,000

2. Why it’s still a good idea to invest in agriculture

3. Spear’s Wealth Management Award winners
The Spear’s Wealth Management Awards 2012/13 took place on 30 October at Phillips de Pury, Victoria, once again celebrating the country’s top bankers, lawyers, entrepreneurs and philanthropists for their successes, innovations and acumen.

4. London’s lesser-known Michelin-starred restaurants
There are certain restaurants and chefs that are household names – Heston Blumenthal, Le Gavroche – however, there are many, many Michelin-starred chefs and restaurants that go somewhat unnoticed (pictured above: Seven Park Place).

5. Robyn Scott is bottling luck with OneLeap
