According to Rightmove, East Road in Elmbridge is the most expensive street outside the capital, with an average asking price of £8,795,714.
Elmbridge – located in Surrey just southwest of London – is well known for its luxury homes and affluent towns such as Weybridge and Cobham, making it a hotspot for house buyers seeking high-end properties within commuting distance of the capital.
Property expert Colleen Babcock said Elmbridge is effectively representing the rest of the UK among Britain’s most elite addresses.
“For buyers looking for prestigious roads outside of the hustle and bustle of London, Elmbridge in Surrey is flying the flag for the rest of the country as the only area outside the capital to make the overall top 20 list,” she said.

Many of Britain’s most expensive streets outside London are located within commuting distance of the capital, particularly in Surrey, Hertfordshire and Berkshire – areas long associated with wealthy homeowners and luxury properties.
However, the list also features prestigious addresses further from the capital, including Congleton Road in the North West and Salterns Way on the Dorset coast.
This shows that while proximity to London often drives the highest house prices, exclusive property hotspots exist across multiple regions of the UK.
Wales and Scotland’s most expensive streets
The report also identifies the priciest streets in other parts of Britain.
In Scotland, Drumsheugh Gardens tops the list with an average asking price of £560,000, highlighting Edinburgh’s most sought-after residential addresses. Meanwhile, in Wales, Hollybush Road in the Cyncoed area of Cardiff is the most expensive street, with homes now averaging £1,237,500.
For homeowners on these streets – and across the country – the report raises the question many are asking: “How much is my house worth?” Even if you don’t live on a top 10 street, the data provides a useful snapshot of how house prices vary across the UK’s most exclusive areas.
Across Britain, the research shows that while London dominates the ultra-prime property market, luxury homes are also thriving in other regions, from Surrey and Hertfordshire to Cheshire, Dorset and beyond.
