The jewel in the crown of this exclusive London neighbourhood is surely the impressive Harrods department store, with its extravagant interior and beautifully illuminated exterior.
Not to be outdone in the competitive world of Knightsbridge shopping, the legendary Harvey Nichols is just down the road, while a diverse collection of the world’s most famous designer stores seal the area’s reputation as the last word in luxury retail.
For those who don’t want to shop till they drop, there are many other things to do in Knightsbridge. Aside from a wealth of fine dining restaurants, trendy cafes and eateries, the area is home to some of London’s most impressive museums, two fabulous arts galleries and a world-class concert venue, the Royal Albert Hall.
The Earl of Cadogan is the landlord for much of the area, which is defined for its plethora of pretty garden squares and grand Victorian terraces just south of Hyde Park. The iconic Candy & Candy One Hyde Park development launched in 2012 as one of the most exclusive addresses in the UK, if not the world, and since then the Knightsbridge Estate has combined luxury retail opportunities with a select number of sleek apartments around an internal garden courtyard and a rooftop garden and restaurant. Those looking for property to rent or buy in Knightsbridge will need deep pockets, but they will undoubtedly enjoy the perfect London lifestyle.
