Property website Zoopla has published its list of the most expensive streets in Britain and it shows that, in fact, the top 10 most expensive streets are in London.

Most expensive roads


Topping the list is Kensington Palace Gardens for the 13th year running. Not surprisingly perhaps when you consider the street is home to billionaires and as Kensington Palace fronts the eastern side of the southern end of the road, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are neighbours. This tree-lined street is home to many embassies and ambassador’s residences, hence the armed police checkpoint at either end of the Gardens, and is often referred to as ‘Millionaire’s Row’ because of the wealth of its residents. The average property price in Kensington Gardens in October 2021 stood at an incredible £32m.

Second on the list for the third year in a row is Courtenay Avenue. Located in Highgate on the edge of Hampstead Heath, this is the road connecting the Hyde Park Corner roundabout and Belgrave Square. There’s a substantial drop in the average property price from the top spot but you’d still need just short of £20m to buy there, with the average property price in Courtney Avenue being £19.4m.

Belgravia is home to the third street on the list, with Grosvenor Crescent commanding an average property price £17.2m. Ilchester Place in West Kensington with an average property price of £15.2m comes in at fourth and The Boltons in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in the fifth spot on the list, has a £14.2m average property price.

Whatever the property price it’s always a good idea to have a survey on the property you are purchasing and when considering home buyers survey London has many reputable companies such as Sam Conveyancing for example, who can advise on flood risks, subsidence and listed buildings etc.
