Knightsbridge in London was the most expensive street in which to buy property in 2024, according to Lloyds.

It would take £21.4 million to buy a home in the area.

Meanwhile, Ilchester Place, located in the nearby Holland Park area of Kensington, is in second place with an average price tag of £19.4 million.

At number three is Grosvenor Square (last year’s most expensive), one of the largest squares in London, where properties now cost an average £19 million.

London dominates the priciest streets list, with average prices now £16.5 million.

With the average UK house price at £356,925, the most expensive properties in the country are almost 60 times more than a typical home.

Outside of the capital, East Road in Weybridge is the most expensive. The average home here comes in at just over £8 million, still a considerable price tag.

Wealthier buyers looking for an exclusive street in Wales would need around £1.3 million – the lowest ‘most expensive’ nation or region in the UK.

Amanda Bryden, head of mortgages at Lloyds, said: “London’s dominance in the list of priciest streets underscores the city’s continued appeal and the resulting competitiveness at the very top end of the property market. However, at £21.4 million to buy a home, even those with the deepest pockets might baulk at the price.

“The cost of securing a prestigious address does vary across the country. For instance, living on the most expensive street in Wales means paying around £1.3 million, although still a significant amount.”
