The UK's most expensive street outside of London has been revealed as East Road in Weybridge, Surrey, where houses cost an eye-watering £8 million on average
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.
