Investing in London Real Estate?

[Christina Lee]

Given how high US dollars are, I'm thinking about investing in the UK market as a way to diversify.  Specifically, London King's Cross seems to be a premium area which attracts lots of tech high income renters - which provides stable income and over time appreciation. 

What I don't know however is the tax implications - as they do tax foreign investors who rent out secondary properties.  Anyone who has done that / explored into the UK market?  Any advice you can offer?
