We reveal the most expensive streets in the UK, according to the latest Rightmove data.

What are the most expensive streets in the UK?

A London road has topped the list as the most expensive one in the UK – it’s Winnington Road, Barnet.

The average asking price of a property on Winnington Road, Barnet, averages out at a handsome £12,538,095, according to analysis by Rightmove.

Streets across London dominate the top 10 list, with just one road outside the capital featuring.

Colleen Babcock, Rightmove’s property expert, said: “Britain’s most expensive streets always capture the nation’s attention and this year we see Winnington Road in North London as Britain's most expensive street based on asking prices.

“In fact, this year's list is taken up almost entirely by London addresses, showing the city still reigns supreme when it comes to ultra-prime property.”

We look at whether London’s property boom is over in another piece.

After Winnington Road, Chester Square in Westminster is the next most expensive street to buy a property, with an average asking price of £11,546,428.

Another Barnet street is next – The Bishops Avenue – commanding an average asking price of £8,930,650.

Four other streets in Westminster take up a large bulk of the top 10 list, including Ebury Square (£8,521,111), Knightsbridge (£8,260,000) and Wilton Place (£7,921,429).

The only street in the top 10 most expensive in the UK outside London is East Road in the leafy suburban town of Elmbridge, Surrey. The average asking price there? A substantial £8,795,714.

What are the most expensive streets outside of London?

While London is the frontrunner in being home to the most expensive streets in the UK, Rightmove’s research also revealed the priciest addresses outside the capital.

East Road in Elmbridge tops the list by some way, with the next most expensive street Newlands Avenue, Hertsmere, in the East of England.

Just north of the English capital, the average asking price there is £3,950,000, according to Rightmove’s analysis.

Congleton Road, in Cheshire East, follows, with homes down this road commanding an average asking price of £3,323,500.

Larch Avenue, in Windsor and Maidenhead (£2,779,167) and Salterns Way, in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (£2,460,000) also come out high in the top 10 list.

What are the most expensive streets across each UK region?

Because southern and middle England dominated the list of locations with the most expensive streets overall, Rightmove also looked at the priciest roads for each region of the UK.

Main Street, in Charnwood, has the highest asking price in the East Midlands, with a home there costing an average of £1,238,571.

Runnymed Road, in Northumberland, commands the highest asking price in the North East, with a home there worth £1,726,111.

Drumsheugh Gardens, in Edinburgh, is the most expensive street to buy a home in Scotland – asking prices average out at £560,000.

In Wales, Hollybush Road, Cardiff, is the priciest spot to bag a home – average asking prices there sit at £1,237,500, Rightmove said.

Tiddington Road in Stratford-on-Avon is the most expensive street to buy in the West Midlands (£2,306,667), while Wigton Lane, Leeds, is the priciest road in Yorkshire and The Humber. Buying a home here will set you back £1,317,857.
