Ahead of this Sunday’s London Marathon, online estate agent eMoov.co.uk has updated its London Marathon Property Price Map for 2017.
The map looks at the difference in average house prices across some of the 26-mile markers in this weekend’s London Marathon.
Across the 16 locations, the average house price is £695,255 – up significantly from last year’s £530,368.
The cheapest option for property buyers this year is at mile four in Woolwich, at an average of £328,866. The most expensive, unsurprisingly, is the final mile market at St James’s Park, with an average house price of £1.6m.

The Founder and CEO of eMoov, Russell Quirk, says: “The London Marathon is a celebration of London itself and, with the route spanning far and wide across the capital, runners will take in the very best of what the city has to offer. This includes the type of property on the market, and our research shows how the price of London homeownership varies across the route, as well as where aspiring buyers can still find a bargain that offers a good view of Sunday’s race.”
