Map reveals London Boroughs with most large homes

A new map highlights the London boroughs with the highest and lowest numbers of large, multi-bedroom homes. While the city’s neighborhoods offer a mix of property types, certain boroughs stand out for having a higher proportion of homes with four or more bedrooms.  

Data from the 2021 ONS census reveals Richmond Upon Thames as the borough with the largest properties, where 28.6% of homes have at least four bedrooms. Redbridge follows closely at 27.6%, with Bromley in third place at 26.4%.  

At the other end of the spectrum, Tower Hamlets has just 8.6% of its properties classified as large homes, while the City of London ranks lowest at 3.8%. In Tower Hamlets, 31.5% of properties are one-bedroom homes, and in the City of London, over half (53.4%) of residences have only one bedroom.  

Unsurprisingly, central London boroughs have the highest concentration of smaller homes, a trend that diminishes further from the city center. However, the distribution of larger homes is more scattered, with South West London emerging as a hotspot for four-bedroom properties.  

Richmond Upon Thames leads in this category, with some areas reporting nearly 60% of homes having four or more bedrooms, making it a standout location for spacious properties.
