Top 20 most expensive streets all in the capital

Published on

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, Lloyds

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.”
