London's most prestigious address
Knightsbridge
Home to Harrods, Harvey Nichols and the world's finest luxury boutiques.
The definitive guide to Knightsbridge is coming soon.
Harrods, founded in 1849 and occupying over a million square feet of Brompton Road, is Europe's largest department store — a destination in its own right, serving everyone from the Royal Family to global heads of state.
Sloane Street is London's most concentrated luxury corridor — a single stretch home to flagships from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Hermès, Prada, Versace, Balenciaga and Burberry.
The district's name derives from the Old English Cnihtebricge — meaning "bridge of the young retainers" — recorded as far back as 1050, when knights would gather at the crossing of the River Westbourne.
One Hyde Park, on Knightsbridge's northern edge, is among the most expensive residential addresses on earth — its apartments have sold for over £100 million, with residents enjoying the adjacent lawns of Hyde Park and Kensington Palace.
Beyond shopping, Knightsbridge neighbours the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Brompton Oratory and some of London's finest Michelin-starred restaurants — making it London's most complete luxury quarter.
