Winnington Road in Barnet, north London, has retained its position as the UK’s most expensive street with an average asking price of £12,538,095, according to new data from Rightmove.
The property portal’s analysis, based on streets where at least five homes were listed for sale in January, shows Chester Square in Westminster ranking second at £11,546,428, followed by The Bishops Avenue in Barnet at £8,930,650.
London dominance continues
London addresses account for 19 of the top 20 most expensive streets in the UK. East Road in Elmbridge, Surrey, is the sole non-London location in the top 20, with an average asking price of £8,795,714.
Westminster features prominently in the rankings, with seven streets in the top 20. These include Ebury Square (£8,521,111), Knightsbridge (£8,260,000), and Wilton Place (£7,921,429).
Regional variations
Outside London, the data reveals significant regional price disparities. Drumsheugh Gardens in Edinburgh leads Scotland at £560,000, whilst Hollybush Road in Cardiff tops Wales at £1,237,500.
In the East of England, Newlands Avenue in Hertsmere ranks as the second most expensive street outside London at £3,950,000. The North West’s priciest street is Congleton Road in Cheshire East at £3,323,500.
The South East shows strong representation outside the capital, with multiple streets in Surrey, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire featuring in the top 20 non-London locations. Larch Avenue in Windsor and Maidenhead averages £2,779,167, whilst Salterns Way in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole leads the South West at £2,460,000.
Market context
Colleen Babcock from Rightmove commented: “Britain’s most expensive streets always capture the nation’s attention and this year we see the return of Winnington Road in North London, as Britain’s most expensive street based on asking prices. In fact, this year’s top 20 is taken up almost entirely by London addresses, showing the city still reigns as supreme when it comes to ultra-prime property.”
The data highlights the concentration of high-value property in central London boroughs, particularly Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, and Camden. Outside the capital, the Home Counties and commuter belt areas command the highest asking prices.
The analysis provides a snapshot of the UK’s property market stratification, with asking prices in London’s most expensive street exceeding those of Scotland’s priciest by more than 22 times. The gap between London and regional markets remains substantial, with only one non-London location breaking into the national top 20.
