We can't deny we love it when news like this comes out. We are just nosey like that, and don't pretend you aren't too. There is something very intriguing, if not slightly depressing, about looking at houses you will never ever EVER come close to being able to afford. So thank you Vyomm (one of London's prime property portals) for revealing the most expensive roads in the capital.
Unsurprisingly, they're to be found in all the usual suspects, area-wise: Kensington and Chelsea, Belgravia and Knightsbridge. It is here that you will find the 13 streets in Britain where the average house is worth over £10 million. Yes, you read that right. So let's take a look at the most expensive streets in London...

1. Knightsbridge, SW3
Top of the pile and arguably one of prime central London’s most iconic streets is Knightsbridge. Located in the City of Westminster and right by Knightsbridge tube station, running parallel to Hyde Park, this road saw 15 transactions over the last year with an average sold price of just under £16m. Yikes.
