I'm sure one of your readers will have access to the post office address file and the means to query it to give a definitive answer.

Eastern Avenue in Ilford gets well into four figures, on the evens side at least.
The North Circular Road at Staples Corner also reaches four figures.
dg writes: 1228 Eastern Avenue and 1000 North Circular Road added, thanks!
The two mentions of Harrow Road - are these two separate roads leading to Harrow, or is it one road with the numbers re-setting to 1 at some municipal boundary?

Downham Way in Grove Park definitely goes above 600. I was stuck in a traffic jam right outside nos 598/600/602 on Saturday and those high numbers caught my attention. I was nearly at the end of the street so the numbers won't go much higher.
dg writes: 650 Downham Way added, thanks!

Green Lanes runs up to 948 (Tessa Stevens Hair and Beauty) but is of course split in the middle by High Road, Wood Green. I walked the whole length of this a few years back which was fascinating.
dg writes: aha, 949. Updated, thanks.

Your old kent road number is wrong it should be 915, 911-915 are infact Cheers off licence with a slight focus on african and carribean drinks.

The other side of the road finishes at 888 with "The Windsor" pub of which there is a good picture from 1883 here.

Uxbridge Road (the Stanmore to Pinner one) actually goes up to 661
dg writes: extended, thanks!
Quite impressive that 2 of the longest roads are called Uxbridge Road, considering the relative unimportance of Uxbridge, and interesting that the Pinner one loses the name a long way from Uxbridge

You could try running a query on OpenStreetMap data using the Overpass Turbo web app. Here's an example which returns 3-digit house numbers starting with a 6 and any 4-digit house numbers: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/WuC
There may be some wrong hits and lots of misses. Two addresses I found this way are 633 Upper Richmond Road West and 1053 Great West Road.
dg writes: Cheers, that's amazing! 633 URRW and 1053 GWR added, thanks... plus half a dozen others from the app.

Rainham Road South in Dagenham gets up to at least 678, just north of Manor Road/the Bull Roundabout (and I suspect substantially lower on the other side)
