If you're planning a home move. Gerrards Cross has been one of the most consistently desirable commuter addresses in the country for decades.

Canary Wharf was Rightmove's most in-demand area for buyers in 2025 and the most searched location for renters across the whole year. Average prices sit between £542,000 and £602,000, well below the London average, which goes a long way to explaining why demand sits where it does.

The housing stock is almost entirely modern apartment buildings, many of them high-rise, mostly managed with concierge services and communal facilities. If that suits what you are looking for, it is extremely hard to…
