    Now, I don’t know if you’ve realised, but London is pretty expensive. Even if I didn’t spend the majority of my income on flights and overpriced flat whites; I still wouldn’t stand a chance of clambering my way onto London’s property ladder. And if I wasn’t completely certain of that rather bleak fact before; I certainly am now. Because the most expensive streets in the UK have just been revealedand – you guessed it – they’re pretty much all in London.

    The Times recently compiled a list of the spenniest streets in the country, courtesy of a little help from the property-pros over at Rightmove. To be considered for a spot on the list, a street had to have at least five properties up for sale, so as to exclude streets that are inactive on the property market and roads that don’t boast very many residential properties. And coming as a surprise to absolutely nobody, the list of the 20 most expensive streets in the UK was utterly dominated by the capital city. And we honestly don’t know whether to feel proud of outraged.

    Topping the charts as the most expensive street in the entire country is Winnington Road in Hampstead. With an average house price of a rather gasp-inducing £11,906,522; you truly are winning(ton) at life, if you’ve managed to bag yourself a house on this road. Perched pretty perfectly between the gorgeous likes of Hampstead Village and Hampstead Heath; Winnington Road managed to beat its bougie neighbour, Bishops Avenue, to the crown. This is supposedly because – unlike ‘billionaire’s row’, Winnington Road isn’t home to any flats, care homes, or building sites. Just a whole load of really bloody massive houses.

    One Winnington Road home currently on the property market is a four-storey, detached, gated house. Sprawling across 16,749 square feet, the property comes complete with a swimming pool, a spa, and a six-car garage. Oh, and a £24.95 million price-tag. Sounds completely reasonable to me…
