A Tube map of London house prices

By popular demand, we've made a house price version of our recent Tube rent map

Morning — if you were shocked by some of the sky-high figures in our recent Tube map of London rents, then we hope you’re sitting down: we’ve now made a version with house and flat prices across the capital’s transport network.

And this time, we’ve got even more data. For each station, we’ve crunched five years’ worth of property sales. It’s about 750,000 records altogether, which we’ve condensed down into a familiar Tube map with popups letting you explore changes over time.

Central London is predictably mad — topping the list is Green Park, where houses within one kilometre of the Piccadilly station were on average sold for £2.7m in the year to August 2024. For those with only £1.5m spare, there’s Oxford Circus, South Kensington, Westminster, Marble Arch and Bond Street.

But the map also shows just how high prices around stations in Zone 2 and beyond have become in 2024. Whether it’s Dalston Kingsland — £601,000 as of this August — or Clapham Common — £605,000 — or Hammersmith — £744,000 — living by many stations on the Tube network is now a tall order for those on the typical London salary. The only silver lining on affordability is that our data shows quite a few stations have seen prices fall in the past year or so, amid the wider UK housing market downturn.

You can view the map on its dedicated, mobile-friendly web app using the button below. If you’re a paid Spy subscriber and want something printable, we’ve included links to PDF versions of the maps further down in this email.

📣 FYI: we’re heading off on a two-week holiday starting this week. We’ve been working flat out on the Spy pretty much every week this year, then doubly so when we launched paid subscriptions in May. So it’s fair to say we’re a bit knackered.

For our paid subscribers, don’t worry — we’ll be pausing payments while we’re away, because we don’t think it’s fair for you to pay while we’re not actually sending you any exclusive stuff.

We’re back in your inbox the week beginning September 16. See you soon! 🌴
