Median (average) house prices in London
The median price paid for Greater London in the period covered by the Land Registry database was £433,000. And the average price for the same period was £761,135. Median prices are used in this site in favour of mathematical mean to avoid a small number of outliers skewing the results.

Tldr — Methodologies
-The data points were collected from Rightmove in Aug 2019.
-The chart is a snapshot of the time when the data points were collected and is not updated in real time.
-Based on listed prices.
-The search was targeted to 1 to 2 bedroom properties within 1/2 miles from a station between Zone 1 and 3.
-The search included properties marked as “on offer” or “sold”.
-For visualisation purposes, the charts start from north to south or west to east.
-Stations that service multiple lines and have different entrances are treated as separate data points — for example, Hammersmith (District & Piccadilly) and Hammersmith (Hammersmith & City) are treated as two independent entries.
-Based on median prices, not mean.
