Those with their sights set on a Zone 1 post code could save £1m just by moving to the other side of Mayfair. It only takes four minutes on the Jubilee line from Bond Street to Green Park but by making the move buyers could make a saving of £250,000 a minute the firm reports.

The escalated price tags in the very centre of London result in the jump from Zone 1 to 2 being some of the highest in the capital, regardless of the line you choose to live on. By moving one stop from Vauxhall to Stockwell in Zone 2 you can save yourself nearly £300,000.

Towards the North East end of the Victoria line a jump of one station from Kings Cross to Highbury & Islington can not only save you nearly £400,000 but also see the demand for your property increase by 13%, says eMoove.
