Bath’s renowned Royal Crescent has been recognized as the most Instagram-worthy street in the UK, but residing there comes with a hefty price tag. Constructed in the 1760s and 70s, the crescent is famed for its elegant Georgian architecture and panoramic views overlooking the River Avon.
According to recent data from Halifax, properties on this street command an average price of £590,786, significantly surpassing the £298,806 national average for a typical UK home. London’s Portobello Road, famous for its vibrant pastel-hued houses and lively market scene, secures the second spot, followed by The Street in the charming village of Castle Combe.
Edinburgh also makes a mark in the top 10 with Victoria Street and Circus Lane. Fortunately, owning a home that is Instagram-worthy doesn’t always demand a sizable budget. Elm Hill in Norwich averages at £235,822, while Eastgate Street in Chester stands at £263,811. The most budget-friendly street in the top 20 is Pier Road in Luss, where the average property price is £158,559.
High-end London locations like Portobello Road and Kynance Mews lead the market with prices reaching £1.66 million and £1.45 million, respectively. The rankings by Lloyds are determined by the frequency of appearance on Instagram and TikTok, along with the number of location tags.
Amanda Bryden, Head of Mortgages at Lloyds, commented, “Social media is reshaping how people explore new destinations and envision their future homes. These streets stand out for their unique charm, be it colorful residences, historic structures, or picturesque surroundings—places that naturally inspire sharing.
“It’s encouraging to see such a diverse range of locations highlighted. While some are prestigious streets, others are more accessible, proving that finding a special place doesn’t always require a hefty financial investment.”
