Sold-price trend (1995–2025)
Annual sold price in W1U 1, 1995–2025 — mean (blue) and median (terracotta). The median is the typical sale; a wide gap to the mean means a few high-value sales pull the average up. Latest median £1,075,000. Hover a point for both figures. Source: HM Land Registry Price Paid.
