Best streets to live on in London named by the Telegraph

But now the best 50 in the UK have officially been named and six London streets have made the list.

The list was created by The Telegraph alongside estate agent Knight Frank, who looked at the difference between house prices on the streets compared to their neighbourhoods and the wider area.

As well as house prices, the pair also looked at what the streets offer for families, with nearby schools and locations next to nature such as green spaces.

The houses on sale on these top-rated streets are often kept under wraps, as Jonathan Bramwell from The Buying Solution told The Telegraph: “These homes don’t go anywhere near Rightmove. Our clients specify the house, I approach the owners discretely and they ask for a laughable price.”

The best streets to live on in London 

Elm Grove, Richmond-upon-Thames, Barnes

With an average house price for the area at around £1.9m, properties are not on the cheaper side. 

But Dominic Murray of John D Wood describes Elm Grove as “an idyllic family haven”, noting that locals share a WhatsApp group and host street parties. 

The tight-knit community also has a well-kept cricket ground and plenty of green spots for locals to enjoy nature.

Much like Elm Grove, the average neighbourhood house price is around £1.9m, often offering large detached homes. 

Houses in the area are near King’s College School, making it a major draw for many, and a large common offers space along with the Westside Tennis Club for budding sports stars.

Gloucester Crescent house prices average £1.2m and it is at the tip of the Regents Park area, according to The Telegraph. 

Made up mostly of townhouses, the curved street can come with a very hefty price tag and is also known as one of “Britain’s cleverest streets.”

The street was once home to several writers, including Alan Bennett, who lived on the road for more than 40 years.
