The most expensive streets to buy a house on or rent on have been revealed in new data from the property website Rightmove.
They created lists based on streets where there are at least five properties for sale and rent this year.
Perhaps unsurprisingly London dominated in both categories, so alongside the main lists a separate one was made for locations outside of London.

Rightmove’s property expert Tim Bannister said: “London's status as the hub of luxury property in the UK remains unchallenged, with Buckingham Gate in Westminster commanding the highest average asking price.
"Although the possibility of buying one of these homes is limited to a very lucky few, there’s clearly a fascination with these prestigious homes as we find they’re often among our most viewed properties on Rightmove.”
