Top of the list is Wimbledon Parkside - the fifth most expensive in London - which overlooks Wimbledon Common and includes a stunning array of mansions next to the Village.

The list is also dominated by roads in Oxshott and Cobham in Elmbridge (Surrey), home to some of the country's wealthiest footballers who play for Chelsea FC, whose training ground is in Cobham.
