Rich List for 2021 reveals Britain’s most expensive streets

Kensington Palace Gardens has been indentified as the Britain’s most expensive street for the 13th consecutive year, according to Zoopla.

The property portal today reveals its Rich List for 2021 – providing a rundown of the nation’s most expensive streets based on average house prices.

Unsurprisingly London is home to the top ten most expensive streets in the UK, led by Kensington Palace Gardens (W8) with an average property price of £29,898,000.

In second place for the third consecutive year is Courtenay Avenue (N6) in Highgate. Home to an average property value of £19,440,000, it is located on the edge of leafy Hampstead Heath, just a stone’s throw from Kenwood House.

Grosvenor Crescent (SW1X), located in Belgravia, and just a short stroll from Buckingham Palace Gardens, ranks in third place with an average property price of £17,212,000.

Three new entrants in the list include The Boltons (SW10), which comes in fifth place and has an average asking price of £14,223,000 and Frognal Way (NW3), which ranks in seventh place, and has an average property value of £11,118,000.

Carlyle Square (SW3) is the final new addition to the list, with an average property price of £9,800,000.

Outside of the capital, Titlarks HIll in Ascot, Berkshire, has, this year, taken the crown from Leatherhead, Surrey, and been crowned as home to the heftiest price tags outside of London, with an average property value of £8,410,000. In second place is Montrose Gardens in Leatherhead, Surrey which is located within the exclusive Crown Estate.

Five streets in the exclusive Surrey enclave of Virginia Water feature in the most expensive list outside of London, including Portnall Rise in third place with an average property value of £6,408,000, Woodlands Road East and Wentworth Drive.

The most expensive streets in Britain’s largest counties – by population – have also been revealed.

Montrose Gardens in Leatherhead is Surrey’s most expensive street, while in Hampshire, Philippines Shaw in the Kent Downs is the priciest street with an average property price of £4,228,000.

Dock Lane in Brockenhurst is Hampshire’s most expensive street with an average property value of £2,410,000 and ranks in third place.

New additions to the list include Broadway in Altrincham with an average property type of £2,925,000. Whirlow Park Road in Sheffield is another new addition with an average property price of £1,028,000.

Outside of the capital, Guildford in Surrey is the postal town with the most expensive streets (176) and is followed by Reading with 137 and Sevenoaks with 133.

A regional analysis of the data shows that of the 11,673 streets in the UK with an average property price of £1m and above. Of these streets, 4,544 are found in London and 4,336 are concentrated in the South East. By contrast, only 9 are found in Wales, 41 in the North East of England, and 55 in Yorkshire and The Humber.

Gráinne Gilmore, head of Research at Zoopla, said: “This data illustrates how the type and size of properties coupled with some of the most desirable locations around the country create prime areas, resulting in some most valuable residential streets in the country.

“London comes top when it comes to the UK’s prime markets, but the wider commuter zone in the South East is also home to some of the highest-value addresses, reflecting the size and type of housing stock in these regions.”
