London’s Portobello Road, known for its pastel-coloured houses and bustling market, came in second place – which has a whopping average price tag of £1.66m.
This was followed by The Street in the picturesque village of Castle Combe in third place, where homes sell for £428,759 on average.
Edinburgh also performed strongly, with both Victoria Street and Circus Lane making the top 10.
Meanwhile in Manchester, Anita Street in Ancoats came in 14th place in the ranking. The street features a distinctive row of pretty Victorian terraces, with an average house price of £257,319.
In nearby Cheshire, Eastgate Street in Chester came in 18th place, where houses sell for an average of £263,811.

“Social media is changing how people discover new places, and even where they start to picture themselves living,” said Amanda Bryden, head of mortgages at Lloyds.
“What really stands out about these streets is their character. Whether it’s colourful homes, heritage buildings or a standout setting, they’re the kind of places people can’t help but share.
“It’s also great to see such a broad mix of locations. While some are among the UK’s most premium streets, others are far more accessible, which shows you don’t need a huge budget to find somewhere that genuinely feels special.”
Amanda adds: “While social media has helped shine a spotlight on some of the UK’s most beautiful streets, it can also bring challenges for the people who live there. Popular locations can see a big rise in visitors, particularly at busy times of year.
“As interest grows, it highlights the importance of visiting thoughtfully – respecting local residents and helping to protect the charm that makes these places so widely shared.”
