A cross between Donald Trump and Liberace in terms of his liking for all things gold in interiors, Ealing based Prince John Zylinski is an eccentric property tycoon with a taste for duels and ballet dancing. An independent candidate to be Mayor of London in 2016, Zylinski challenged Nigel Farage to a duel in April 2015 for insulting Poles and stated: “I would like us to meet in Hyde Park one morning with our swords and resolve this matter in a way that an 18th century Polish aristocrat and English gentleman would traditionally do”. Described by The Sunday Times’ Julia Llewellyn Smith as “jovial and slightly scruffy”, Zylinski modestly claims to be “one of the wealthiest Poles in Britain”, of aristocratic lineage and a descendant of “Catherine the Great of Russia… twenty Roman Catholic Cardinals, twelve Popes and six Saints in Heaven”.

Two stories to keep beside you
John Bly
Having begun his career at Sotheby’s, John Bly joined his family at their firm of antiques dealers in Tring, Hertfordshire.
The Cheery Street Sweeper
Never without a decent word to say, Knightsbridge’s cheeriest street sweeper is an asset to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Unlike the incompetent, avaricious councillors representing the area, this diligent worker never moans and he never complains. Come sun, rain, wind or snow, here is someone who takes pride in his work and […]

His house is a sight to behold. It’s utterly bonkers.
If he dislikes Nigel Farage, I’d support him but he’d be better off just joining Zac Goldsmith’s campaign instead of splitting the vote. We do not want the terrorist apologist Khan to win after all.
Ah, the idle rich, another senile old fart, with far too much money.
Always complaining about being discriminated against in the uk, but funny how they never want to live in their own country. He probably knows nobody there would tolerate him.
Mayor of London, give me a break.
Oh please stop being so very chippy, and proletarian. The man is a huge character, and fun. Just what you need in a mayor …… !!
In my view, he a) won’t get elected and b) he’s simply splitting the vote. He should have backed Zac Goldsmith. Thanks to the actions of him and others, London could end up with Khan as Mayor. Now that would be a disaster.
God no. Another pompous man who loves listening to his very own dulcet tones.
I urge all readers in London to vote for John Zylinski. He is a man who’ll get things done.
Are you on drugs??
Fun chap! My second preference after Zac.
I agree with Betina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prince Zylinski sounds like he’d make a great mayor for London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And he’s brilliant at ballet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He should go on Strictly too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Prince Zylinski, and Zac Goldsmith, are both standing to be Mayor of London, they should both publish their tax returns ? Now.
Shouldn’t Khan do the same therefore also?
Yes he should, but he is not related to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, like Zak, or has the money that Prince zylinski has, so I doubt if he has anything in a tax haven !!
Well, having said all that, London does need a zany sort of figure at the helm, What about Boy George?
