A new twist on the iconic London Underground map shows the house prices around each station on the capital's transport network.

The cheapest option for those after a London postcode lies around Barking and Upney stations, which sit alongside each other near the end of the District line. With an average price tag of £237,000, homes in the area are only 20 per cent higher than the UK average of £196,999.
An address near West London's swanky High Street Kensington area, however, will see prospective buyers shelling out £2.6 million, 1219 per cent higher than the national average.
A few minutes' travelling can make all the difference, with property prices rising or falling by as much as £1m between one station and the next. For example, Finchley Park has an average price of £1.4m but if you stay on the Tube for just eight minutes more, you can buy in Wembley Park for around £404,000.
"It’s well worth doing your homework when buying in London because, as this research shows, sacrificing a few extra minutes with a longer commute can result in a considerable reduction in the price you will pay for a property," Russell Quirk, the chief executive and founder of eMoov, told Metro. "A property close to a tube stop, on a good line, remains one of the most sought-after pieces of property in the capital."
