The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition is the most prestigious where house prices are concerned, with the average property in Mayfair’s W1 postcode costing £2.3m.

The BBC Proms in South Kensington’s isn’t far behind. The current average house price in the SW7 postcode is £2.1m, with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Wimbledon the only other British social events with an average house price over the £1m mark (£1.6m & £1m respectively).

The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, the Henley Royal Regatta, Royal Ascot, the Royal Windsor Horse Show and the Glyndebourne Festival are all home to an average house price of more than £500,000.
