Nearly half of London households don’t own a car (46 per cent), which means Londoners are more public transport savvy than most of the UK when it comes to choosing where in the city to settle. Properties with a nearby tube station are worth their weight in gold, and all the better if that station connects multiple train lines, Underground or Overground.
To really get their money’s worth, house-hunters should have a decent idea of which Tube lines offer the best value for homes near their stations. We trawled through the most up-to-date Rightmove stats to find the property prices at the end of every train line, Underground, Overground, and DLR, multiple endpoints and all.
The data was generated using Rightmove’s House Prices in my Area function, which uses a postcode input to find the average property price for that area, taking the average of all properties sold in that postcode in the six months leading up to November 2021 – including detached, semi-detached and terraced house, as well as flats.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, The District line’s final stop to the southwest, Richmond, had the highest average property price of any stop on the network, at an eye-watering £2,362,500 per property on average. The cheapest last stop on the network was Barking, at the far eastern end of the Hammersmith & City Line, where properties are a much more mellow £268,424 on average – almost a tenth of the price of Richmond!
The District line was also the Tube line that saw the biggest leap in house prices from one end to the other, with house prices in Richmond a whopping £1,773,661 more expensive on average than those in Upminster, where they are an average of £588,839.
West Croydon, Watford Junction, Crystal Palace and Woolwich Arsenal stations all promise a relative bargain for house hunters looking in the immediate vicinity, too, as they all had an average property price of less than £400,000 (£359,496, £300,900, £364,107 and £398,300 respectively).
