We all know the capital can be a bit on the pricey side but this really puts it into perspective.
According to Foxton's, a major estate agency, the average price of a home in central London is a staggering £1,438,610.
So what do you get for those sort of eye-watering prices?
Well, in Covent Garden, Victoria or Pimlico that'll get you a quite nice but small - and we mean small - two-bedroom flat.
It's fair to say your money would stretch a bit further in the North East.
Here are a few sprawling mansions and luxurious homes you'd get for the price of a flat in central London.
Morton House - £1,395,000
Built in the 1700s, Morton House is a stunning nine-bedroom home set in 12.5 acres of land.
The Grade-II listed building is located close to Houghton-le-Spring and is as much a historical site as it is a home.
Inside, it's the height of luxury - the kitchen even used to be a ballroom.
Great Lime Road - £1,200,000
The owner of this property has spent years refurbishing it and it really shows.
The five-bedroom house in Forest Hall, Newcastle, comes complete with a tennis court, an adjoining annexe flat and landscaped gardens.
It even comes with planning permission and enough space to build another six-bedroom house on the grounds - and all for less than a two-bed flat in central London.
Allendale - £1,500,000
If you wanted to spend a little bit more than the average central London price, you could have something like this in Northumberland.
Situated near Hexham, this traditional five-bedroom farmhouse comes with two cottages which can be used as holiday lets.
The picturesque properties offers stunning views of the rolling Northumberland countryside.
Old Orchard House - £1,495,000
Stretching the budget a bit again but for a little north of the price of a two-bed flat in the middle of London you could have this Northumberland country house.
Located in High Buston near the scenic coastal village of Alnmouth, the views from this five-bedroom house couldn't be much better.
Oh, and it comes with a snooker room and an indoor swimming pool.
