£21 million to live on UK’s most expensive street
· Knightsbridge in London now the priciest UK street
· The UK’s 10 most expensive streets all in the capital, with an average price tag of £16.5 million
· East Road in Weybridge the most expensive address outside of London
· Priciest UK properties are 60 times more than a typical home
Lloyds has revealed the UK’s most expensive streets of 2024, with Knightsbridge in London topping the list. A home in the sought-after area – home to high-end boutiques and luxury hotels – will set buyers back a staggering £21.4 million.
Just over two miles away, Ilchester Place, located in the Holland Park area of Kensington, is in second place with an average price tag of £19.4 million. Rounding out the top 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 and those dreaming of owning a home on one of these will need deep pockets, 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, 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.”
