Top 10 Most Expensive Cities in the UK

What are the most expensive cities in the UK in which to live? To determine this, I've listed the top 10 in order of highest average sold property prices within the last 12 months according to rightmove.co.uk, so bear in mind this information is time-sensitive (correct as of October 2023).

Hello. Very interesting videos, mate. When would you be doing ones like this in the northwest? I live near Skipton. So I'm interested in how you rate the cities nearby, As I stay away from them. :)

[@AlexinGreatBritain]

Thanks! I'm planning on covering the cities of the north in about a month's time or so.

I was surprised that Manchester and Liverpool weren't on the list of the most expensive 😮

[@AlexinGreatBritain]

Manchester's about average for prices and Liverpool's on the cheaper end. Surprising I know, considering how good at football they both are for one thing! But it's to do with the north-south divide where places get a lot cheaper once they're out of commuting range with London.

In London you do get the benefits of high public spending.

Hmmm I would have thought that the City of Westminister (In the county of Greater London) and the City of London [the 1sq mi] (a city & a ceremonial county) would take the №1 and №2 positions, not GL as a whole at №1... I always thought that Greater London is not a city but is just a county no?

[@AlexinGreatBritain]

You're absolutely right, they are technically two cities. I forgot to mention in the narration that I combined them as a single entry because it didn't feel right to give the top spot to what is essentially an anomaly, i.e. the Square Mile. Greater London's a county, yeah - it's everything in London minus the City of London, which is also a county! How it ended up as convoluted as that I've no idea!

[@doommonger7784]

You mean a lack of knife crime and muggings apart from London.
