Victoria Road in Kensington in London is the most expensive residential street in England and Wales with an average house price of over £8 million, new research shows. Indeed, 12 of the 20 most expensive roads are in the Royal Borough of Kensington and the top 50 are all in the south of England, the data from Lloyds Bank also shows. There is a £5.5 million gap between the most expensive streets in the South East and the rest of the UK, no million pound streets in Wales and a £7.2 million gap between the most expensive street in Wales compared to central London. The most expensive Welsh street is in Cardiff and with an average house price of £793,000, Druidstone Road is £7.2 million less than Victoria Road in London. Such is the pull of living in Kensington and Chelsea that 12 streets in the Royal Borough are in the list of the 20 most expensive in the country.
