The NW8 0 (St John's Wood) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 2,553 registered sales in NW8 0 (London) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for NW8 0 (London) is £800,000, from 14 registered sales, down 14% on five years earlier; the mean is £937,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £12,880 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,553 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

In cash terms the typical NW8 0 home went from £173,000 in 1995 to £800,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 113%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 58% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NW8 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2024 (+106.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−38.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −25.6% | −27.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.1% | −7.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.3% | −3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
NW8 0 recorded 14 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 118 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around NW8 0
The local authority for NW8 0 is Westminster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £3,163 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £2,517 a month here against £5,378 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Westminster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£3,163 a month is £37,956 a year, which against the £800,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the NW8 0 market
Only 14 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NW8 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within NW8, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in NW: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NW area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £992,500 | £1,400,000 (+41%) | £2,225,000 (+59%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
