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.

Swimming safety advice Experts have revealed some of their top advice for both adults and kids heading to the water this summer: How to stay safe at the beach Gareth Morrison, Head of Water Safety at the RNLI said: "If you find yourself being swept out to sea in a rip, try to relax and float until you are free from the rip and you can then swim to safety. "If you see someone else in danger, alert a lifeguard or call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard." How to stay safe at the swimming pool Tiny Hearts Education, former paramedic and CEO Nikki Jurcutz said: "Always put your little one in bright or contrasting colours that would be easy to find in an emergency. "It only takes 20 seconds to drown, little tips like this could save a life". An Auqabliss spokesperson added: 'Swimming toys such as noodles, dive rings, floaties and beach balls can be dangerous if left in the pool. 'Children may try to grab these from the pool's edge and fall in." How to stay safe at a waterpark Ali Beckman, Puddle Ducks Technical Director, said: "Never send a child down the slide on their own, not only are they going to be entering the slide pool area independently, they then have to exit the pool and wait for an adult. "And wave pools should be avoided until your child is really confident with water going over their faces and you know they are able to regain their feet independently. 'Waterparks are often very busy places and it's easy to lose sight of a child in a split second." Summer Splash is set to be a pretty perfect place for the entire family.

And a beloved UK lido with its own lagoon has moved one step closer to reopening after three-year closure.

The space is hung with Chilean art and rocks brought back from local caves
Fitzrovia might feel corporate, but hiding among the polished buildings and offices are a few spots with a bit of an edge. Mareida is the latest, an elegant fine dining restaurant serving up elevated Chilean cuisine from a buzzy open kitchen. You can feel the passion for the restaurant's vision from every corner; the space is hung with Chilean art and there are even rocks brought back from local caves. The vibe is slick and trendy, and we dine alongside good-looking couples and a large corporate crew. Our first dish was also our best; mussels in charcoal shells on a bed of fennel sand, which you sprinkle into each shell before eating. They are a lovely, textured bite, made perfect by a few dabs of warmly spiced hot sauce which has a clean, fresh, and tongue-prickling heat. Cocktails are another delight, many of them featuring Chile's national spirit pisco, including the light Mareida sour and bright-pink and intensely grapefruity Araucaria spritz, topped with a tiny tomato. We try all three empanadas - the mushroom with goat cheese, the beef and the seafood. The beef is the stand-out, rich and comforting (warning: it has a tiny, whole boiled egg inside it), but any of them are worth trying. We're recommended the wagyu slider, which is a fun little thing but doesn't taste like an awful lot; just thin-cut beef, with a touch of sweetness from the brioche and the brown butter. After a generous dash of that lovely hot sauce, it's much better, but I prefer the empanadas. There are a number of mains on offer, from raviolo with morels, to conger eel with fish broth, but the dish that will no doubt cause a stir is the pastel de choclo. A whopping great wooden bowl filled with a fascinating combo of ever-so-slightly runny poached eggs, tender lamb shoulder and raisins. The lamb is excellent but as a whole it is, in a word, wet. The crab cake gratin is cheesy and delicious, but hard to get through as a main for one. It would be a perfect starter, served with a little toast or crackers for dipping. The lomo a lo pobre is a thing of beauty - a whopping great steak with tiny little Chipsticks-style chips, caramelised onions and another runny poached egg. The steak is excellent, and perfectly cooked, but everything could use a huge hit of salt. For pudding, we tried the hojarasca, which arrives like an elevated trifle - layers of dulce de leche, vanilla and raspberry. The membrillo comes in a beautiful chocolate ball, ready to be smashed into with a spoon, and perfect hazelnut ice cream. Along with its starters, dessert is where Mareida shines.
