UK's richest street outside of London where homes cost a staggering £8million
A recent study has unveiled the UK's most prestigious residential areas, showcasing staggering property prices nationwide. Although London continues to top the charts, with Kensington boasting an average house price of a whopping £21.4 million on one street, there are also areas of immense wealth beyond the capital.
Outside of London, the priciest homes can be found on East Road in Weybridge, Surrey, situated within the exclusive St George's Hill gated community, according to data released by Lloyds Bank. The average home here now fetches an astounding £8 million, making it the most expensive street outside of London in the UK.
This ultra-private estate is renowned for its high-profile residents and top security, contributing to its status as the most costly street beyond the capital.
St George's Hill is a 964-acre private gated community consisting of approximately 450 luxury properties, with prices soaring up to £25 million.
The area has been home to numerous celebrities and public figures, including Beatles icon John Lennon, Elton John, Cliff Richard, Ringo Starr, Sue Baker, golfer Nick Faldo, and Formula 1 champion Jenson Button, reports the Express.
The estate provides a high-end lifestyle supported by premier amenities such as the St George's Hill Golf Club, designed in 1912 by Harry Colt, and the estate's Lawn Tennis Club, established in 1915, which boasts 13 grass courts and indoor options, along with a health club and spa.
Access to the area is meticulously regulated through gated roads, with vigilant on-site staff and sophisticated automatic number plate recognition systems in place. In a 2023 feature, Country Life bestowed upon St George's Hill the title of "the safest place in Britain to buy a home".
Home to an array of architectural marvels, St George's Hill boasts properties ranging from original Arts and Crafts-style Tarrant homes to modern mansions with Georgian or Queen Anne-style exteriors, some valued at tens of millions, complete with vast gardens and as many as ten bedrooms.
The site holds historical significance, dating back to its origins as an Iron Age hillfort and later, in 1649, becoming notable for the Diggers' movement, led by Gerard Winstanley, who sought to establish the land for communal use.
The estate as we know it began to emerge in 1911 when property developer Walter George Tarrant acquired the land, envisioning an exclusive retreat for affluent Londoners seeking countryside serenity.
Tarrant's vision was to create a sanctuary that harmonised privacy, refined architecture and a lifestyle rich in leisure and sporting activities.
St George's Hill doesn't just boast East Road; other prestigious addresses within the estate, such as Camp End Road (with an average price tag of £6.1 million), are also listed among the most expensive in the UK.

A Beckham peace deal? Elton John acts as mediator in Brooklyn's family feud as he shakes hands with his godson after 'saying his piece' on row while treating him and his wife Nicola Peltz to a swanky lunch in St Tropez
Footage has emerged that showed the moment Elton John sat down for lunch with godson Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz, in a bid to calm the family's escalating feud. The legendary musician, who has been friends with David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51, for over 30 years, treated Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, to a swanky lunch at fancy La Guerite beach club in the South of France. New pictures show the couple wining and dining with Sir Elton and his husband David Furnish where the hitmaker reportedly took the opportunity to 'say his piece'. The Beckham family have been at the centre of a feud that has pitted Brooklyn and his wife Nicola against the rest of the family. According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents, and footage of the outing shared on social media showed the pair shaking hands. Speaking about Elton's attempts to play peacekeeper in the row, a source said; 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row.' 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.' The source added Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'. MailOnline has contacted the Beckhams and Elton's representatives for comment. Nicola couldn't wipe the smile off her face during the lunch as she sipped on Aperol Spritz at the fancy beach club. Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190. Nicola went onto pay tribute to Elton in a new Instagram post, as she stripped naked for a racy bath snap, while his song Cold Heart played over it. David affectionately calls the musician 'Uncle Elton' after becoming friends in his football heyday. Sir Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999 before suffering a heart attack that prevented him from playing. He later sang at one of the children's christenings. Meanwhile Victoria once disclosed that it was Elton who inspired her to say goodbye to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing. It comes after Nicola doubled down on the family feud as she declared Brooklyn 'her everything' on Instagram last week during their luxury St Tropez trip. Nicola took to her Instagram Stories with snaps of the pair embracing during their sun-soaked getaway on board her billionaire father's yacht in St Tropez. The couple only had eyes for each other as she wrapped her arms around his neck while he pulled her in close. She wore a bikini top and skimpy white shorts while her husband shielded his eyes behind shades and a baseball cap and cheekily squeezed her bottom. Nicola captioned the post: 'My everything @BrooklynBeckhamPeltz' with Brooklyn later resharing it with his followers. Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz, 20, and Romeo, 22, in the latest family drama. Nicola doubled down amid her and husband Brooklyn's feud with his family as she declared him 'her everything' last week However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria, 51 and David, 50. Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this month but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it – which Nicola reposted. There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday on Thursday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month. Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park. David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.

Ozzy Osbourne by Dylan Jones: 'he cared about two things: his work and his family'
Around 20 years ago we decided to honour Ozzy with a 'Legend' award, something we reserved for the very biggest stars, people such as Madonna, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Led Zeppelin. In advance of the awards show, which this year was being held at the Royal Opera House, we held a small dinner for Ozzy in the private room at Cipriani, just behind Claridge's. We invited some contributors and a smattering of Ozzy's friends and ended up with a massively fun table including Tracey Emin and Jay Jopling, Maurice Saatchi, James Nesbitt, Elton John and David Furnish, Peter Mandelson, and of course Ozzy and Sharon. Apart from the fact that Jopling had insisted on bringing a portable TV with him, so he could watch England play a World Cup game (incongruous, I know), the biggest contretemps of the evening was when Ozzy took off all his clothes so he could show off his tattoos to our Chairman, Jonathan Newhouse. In an act of benign one-upmanship, Jonathan took off his shirt to reveal a massive Yakuza tattoo.
