A regional analysis of the data shows that of the 11,673 streets in the UK with an average property price of £1m and above. Of these streets, 4,544 are found in London and 4,336 are concentrated in the South East. 

By contrast, only nine are found in Wales, 41 in the North East of England, and 55 in Yorkshire and The Humber.

Gráinne Gilmore, head of research at Zoopla comments: "This data illustrates how the type and size of properties coupled with some of the most desirable locations around the country create prime areas, resulting in some most valuable residential streets in the country. 

“London comes top when it comes to the UK’s prime markets, but the wider commuter zone in the South East is also home to some of the highest-value addresses, reflecting the size and type of housing stock in these regions. “
