Andrew Mason, mortgage products director at Lloyds Bank said: "The prime London boroughs of Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea continue to reign supreme with Britain's most expensive streets. Six addresses in the two boroughs come with a price tag of over £10 million with the top two over £16 million.
"As expected, addresses in London and the South East top the list of most expensive places to live, our research shows that all other regions have at least one £1 million street. Away from London, the survey shows that the most expensive streets are tightly clustered within Cheshire, Yorkshire and the Humber and Sandbanks in Dorset on the south coast."
