True. I'm still surprised at the implication that prices in nice parts

That does seem strange - but tube stations are more likely to be on a
main road surrounded by shops, so that the average for areas further out
is likely to be depressed by over-representation of locally undesirable
flats. Not sure I've explained that very well! Basically a house in a
cheap area can still cost more than a flat in a posh one.

No, i get it - in the outer suburbs, there are town centres around the
stations, with shops and cheap, undesirable housing, with the leafy lanes
of big expensive houses further out. Makes perfect sense.

Did they try to correct for the nature of the property somehow (only
include 2-bed houses or something)?

I don't believe so.
