An interesting, albeit paranoid, Daily Mail article that highlights how much property Qatar owns in the UK. 

zedoh:

Qatar owns:

1. Harrods, the upmarket department store formerly owned by Mohamed al-Fayed.
2. The Shard, soon-to-be Europe’s tallest building.
3. No 1 Hyde Park, the world’s most expensive block of flats.
4. The London Stock Exchange, which they own a 20 per cent stake.
5. Camden Market, which they own a 20 per cent stake.
6. The Olympic Village, once the games are over.
7. Sainsbury’s and Barclays banks – major investors.
8. Liquefield Natural Gas, Britain’s biggest supplier.

And yet, when telling people in London where I live, so many of them aren’t even aware that Qatar is a country. The mind boggles.

Swag aside, it’s an interesting read, apart from the gross inaccuracies regarding alcohol availability in hotels in Qatar.
