Whether we admit it or not there is always a part of us that tries to keep up with the Jones's. Some "Jones's" however are quite difficult to keep up with especially if they live on any of the streets we feature in our listing of our "Ten most expensive streets in the United Kingdom"
The list comes courtesy of the property tracking website Mouseprice.com. The list highlights how much of the UK's wealth seems concentrated in London as all of the top ten streets are in the capital, with two of the capital's borough's, Barnet and Kensington & Chelsea dominating with four entries each.
The top ten streets based on the average street property price are listed below

Most expensive streets in the UK. No1 - Chester Square
No. 1 - Chester Square SW1W (City of Westminster, London)
We have trawled our way through massive Georgian mansions, weaved along gorgeous tree-lined avenues and finally we are at the top of list of the most expensive streets in the United Kingdom. The top of the list finds us in the heart of London. In the vicinity of its great landmarks, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and The House of Commons we find Chester Square, the UK's most expensive street.
Chester Square lies in the heart of Belgravia, one of London's most fashionable, if not its most fashionable neighbourhood. Famous resident's of Chester Square include Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and celebrity chef Nigella Lawson.
To get a feel for how expensive this road is, the last three house sold on this road have sold for £19.7 million, £12.7 million and £15 million. That these prices were achieved at the height of the credit crunch tell just about all you need to know about this road.

Most expensive streets in the UK. No2 - Ingram Avenue
No. 2 - Ingram Avenue NW11 (London Borough of Barnet)
It is Deja Vu at No.2. We are back in Barnet, as a matter of fact we are back in the midst of the cluster of streets that have given us No.3, No.4, No.5 and No.6 and now No.2. It is Hampstead and here amongst the leafy gentility and just south of Hampstead Golf Club we have Ingram Avenue.
Famous residents past and present include Des O'Connor, Peter Sellers and the Sultan of Brunei is said to own three homes on this road. The road also boast Royal connections as the Queen is said to own a 'grace and favour' property here. With an average price of £5 million it is no surprise the road boasts such exclusivity.

Most expensive streets in the UK. No3 - Courtenay Avenue
No. 3 - Courtenay Avenue N6 (London Borough of Harringey)
London Borough of Harringey is one of the UK's most deprived boroughs, but amongst the want, their lies the oasis of wealth that is Highgate and it is Highgate that provides the third most expensive street in the country.
The private road which lies off Hampstead Lane and borders Highgate Golf Club was in the top spot last year, but has slipped as prices across London soften. By soften we mean that the cheapest houses are in the region of £4 million, just so you know.
Unfortunately because it is a private street Street View only gives us a peek.

No. 4 - Winnington Road N2 (London Borough of Barnet)
We are still in Hampstead, well to be specific it is Hampstead Garden Suburbs, and little things like this matter in areas like this. Lying in between The Bishops Avenue and the Hampstead Golf Club is our entry at No. 5 Winnington Road.
The road is littered with huge double fronted mansions ranging in price from a an entry level price of £1 million to an eye-watering £17 million.

Most expensive streets in the UK. No5 - The Bishops Avenue
No. 5 - The Bishops Avenue N2 (London Borough of Barnet)
If you took a poll of Londoners and ask them to name the most expensive road in the capital, The Bishops Avenue would be right up there. With massive and ostentatious mansions straddling the boulevard-like road, The Bishops Avenue reeks of power and money and not in an understated way.
With an apartment selling for £7 million in the midst of the Credit Crunch you know the residents of this road are not shackled by the same financial constraints as you and I. In the 1990's it was said that Saudi King Fahd fell so in love with the road in addition to his main home, he bought four more homes for his guests, while other members of the Saudi royal family have picked up a further five. The UK's richest man Lakshmi Mittal is also a resident.

Most expensive streets in the UK. No6 - Spaniards Close
No. 6 - Spaniards Close NW11 (London Borough of Barnet)
We finally leave the delights of Kensington as we head up the charts and up to the more suburban borough of Barnet home to one of London's most coveted neighbourhoods - Hampstead and that's where we find our entry at No.6, Spaniards Close.
While we don't find the extreme swing in prices we have seen already, what we get in Spaniards Close is consistency, i.e prices consistently over £3 million. Streetview only gives us a peak into Spaniards close but rest assured it is as magnificent as any of its contenders

Most expensive streets in the UK. No7 - Ilchester Place
No. 7 - Ilchester Place W14 (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea)
Is every street in the Royal borough of Kensington full of millionaire pound houses? Seems so because at No.7 we get another Kensington millionaires row, Ilchester Place. Many of the large, low built houses have gardens with view overlooking Holland Park saw it comes as little surprise that prices can go up to £13 million at the top end and entry level prices at half a million.

Most expensive streets in the UK. No8 - The Vale
No. 8 - The Vale SW3 (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea)
The Vale lies off that most famous of Chelsea roads, King's Road. The Vale was not always this posh having started out in the early 20th century with houses for artists, architects, musicians or writers 'of modest means'. It has come a long way since then with £8.9 million being the top price paid for house on this road and a flat setting you back £540,000 in 2001 and up to £965,000 in 2006.

Most expensive streets in the UK. No9 - Cottesmore Gardens
No. 9 - Cottesmore Gardens W8 (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea)
Bordering Victoria Road (No. 10) in the list. Cottesmore Gardens shares the same traditional Stucco finish to the huge homes similar to ones you see on Victoria Road. It would take more than a lottery win to purchase some of the finest homes on this road with the most expensive having been sold for £9.5 million and the cheapest flat sold over 7 years ago for just over half a million pounds.
