UK house prices: The 10 most expensive streets for million pound properties in London and Britain revealed by Zoopla

But the value of property on the most expensive street in Britain has fallen by £2.5m and, in fact, prices have declined on half of the top 10 priciest roads as London’s high-end market cooled.
