St John's Wood property market: common questions

Where is St John's Wood?

The median asking price across the 1,325 homes for sale in St John's Wood is £1,050,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £650,000 and £1,950,000. That is 83% above London. Homes that actually sold in St John's Wood went for a median £865,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

No: asking prices in St John's Wood are typically higher than across London. The median asking price in St John's Wood is £1,050,000 against £575k across London: 83% above London.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,325 in St John's Wood), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked St John's Wood since November 2025.
  • London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
