London’s most prestigious postcodes revealed
The latest research from Enness Global has revealed London’s 11 most prestigious postcodes based on average sold price data, with the SW1A postcode covering Mayfair and St James’s topping the table, where the average home sold for £2.375m.
Enness Global analysed sold price data from the Land Registry, examining transactions to have completed across London’s prime market and compiling the figures on a quarterly basis. The research identifies which postcodes command the highest prices, as well as those that have seen the strongest price growth over the past year.
When it comes to the price paid for London’s most sought-after homes, the SW1A postcode leads the way. In Q3 2025, properties across Mayfair and St James’s sold for an average of £2.375m, making it the most expensive postcode district in the capital.
The SW1X postcode, covering Knightsbridge and Belgravia, ranks second with an average sold price of £1.565m, while the neighbouring W1K postcode of Mayfair and St James’s follows closely at £1.525m.
Central London locations continue to dominate the top end of the table, with the WC2R postcode surrounding Somerset House and Temple West recording an average sold price of £1.5m. The W8 postcode, spanning Kensington, Notting Hill and Holland Park, also features prominently, with homes selling for an average of £1.4m.
Elsewhere, the W1H postcode covering Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Soho has seen average sold prices reach £1.3m, while South Kensington’s SW7 postcode recorded an average of £1.257m.
Chelsea’s SW3 postcode follows at £1.15m, with SW13, covering Wimbledon, Richmond, Putney and Barnes, just exceeding the £1m mark at £1.028m. SW1W in Knightsbridge and Belgravia and W1B in Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Soho also feature among London’s most prestigious areas, both recording average sold prices just above £1m.
However, while these postcodes command the highest values, it is elsewhere within London’s prime market where price growth has been strongest. The WC2H postcode, covering Leicester Square and St Giles, has seen the most pronounced annual uplift, with average sold prices 35% higher in Q3 2025 than a year earlier. The W1F postcode across Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Soho has also recorded strong growth of 31.4%, while W1H posted a 17.4% increase over the same period.
North London locations have also performed well, with the N6 postcode covering Hampstead and Highgate seeing prices rise by 13.2%, while N5 and N7, spanning parts of King’s Cross and Islington, recorded more modest increases of 3.4% and 2.8% respectively. Elsewhere, WC2B around Drury Lane and Kingsway saw a 1.5% uplift, while SW18 covering Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth remained flat year on year.
Islay Robinson, CEO of Enness Global, commented:
“It’s been a challenging year for the London market, with political and economic uncertainty clearly dampening activity levels across much of 2025. However, the capital continues to attract high-net-worth demand from both domestic and international buyers.
While transaction volumes have been more muted, homes are still changing hands at substantial price points, and the fact that average sold prices have exceeded £1m across 11 London postcodes highlights the depth of demand that remains in the market.
What’s particularly encouraging is that, despite broader caution, price growth in certain central postcodes has been notably strong, reinforcing the long-term appeal of London as a global residential destination.”
