London houses on the market for £1 million - what does that figure get you in the UK capital?

We all know life in the UK's capital is more expensive than elsewhere in the country. Londoners have ample reason to complain of sky-high rents and house prices that have placed an added squeeze on residents during the cost of living crisis.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average price of a UK home in April 2023 was £286,000. That's nearly twice the average figure for a London property back then which was £533,687.

But the allure of living in London still remains for countless people. Surrounded by culture, history, more job availability and the promise of higher wages, the capital has never lost it's unique appeal. A truly global city, it's almost impossible to find yourself bored here.

For those looking to buy their first property, the idea of agreeing to fork out £1 million on a home may seem like a massive undertaking. But more and more properties in the capital are falling into this price bracket as house prices continue to rise year on year. National World takes a look at what kind of house that figure can get you in London.
