London's Most Expensive Residential Postcodes: Where Are They?

London is the world's most popular destination when it comes to prime real estate, with London boasting some of the world's most expensive and exclusive residential postcodes. Where, however, is the most expensive postcode in London? New statistics released by property agency Jefferies James expose revealing facts about London's most desirable and high-end areas.

W1B: The Capital's Most Expensive Postcode

At the top of London's priciest residential hotspots is Westminster's W1B postcode, the zone between Piccadilly Circus and Regents Park. A house there is worth a staggering £4.375 million on average, and it is beyond doubt the costliest postcode in the city—and indeed in the entire UK—altogether. This prime site, flanked by mythic markers and granting proximity to exclusive shopping and superior amenities, is sure to make W1B one of the top destination areas among ultra-high-net-worth households that want to reside in central London.

W1K and SW1X: Contenders Worth Considering

It is closely followed by postcodes SW1X and W1K. W1K, located in Westminster along the fashionable Hyde Park, has an average price of £3.65 million. Not far behind in Kensington is SW1X, ranked third with an average house price of £2.8 million. Both areas are known for their upscale addresses and have decadent mansions, designer boutiques, and five-star restaurants lining the streets.

Other Costly Locations in Westminster

Westminster takes the lead, with a number of its postcodes featured in the top 10. W1J, SW1H, SW1E, and WC2R are some of the costliest locations in London, which is a testament to Westminster's popularity as a destination for high-end buyers. These locations provide a luxury lifestyle and access to cultural icons, and they are a favorite among international investors.

Costly Postcodes Outside London

Whereas London comfortably heads the most expensive postcodes, there are several areas of high expense outside of the capital. The EN5 postcode in M25 in Hertfordshire is the most expensive area outside of London at an average of £1.875 million. Three Rivers' HA6 and Sevenoaks' BR6 at £1.22 million and £1.155 million, respectively are also high-price locations, suggesting high-end property in good-quality commuter belts is in continued demand.

International Appeal of London's Luxury Market

By Damien Jefferies of Jefferies James, London's top residential market paces the way in the UK. "London has always been a prime market trendsetter and its influence spreads far beyond the city," says Jefferies. "Even the most exclusive postcodes outside the city directly relate to London, re-establishing the capital as the world's wealth and high-end lifestyle capital.".
