Knightsbridge Area Guide

Global Luxury, a London address

Knightsbridge is one of the world’s most recognised districts synonymous with Harrods, luxury fashion, and internationally renowned real estate. For buyers, it offers an extraordinary blend of prestige, security, and immediate access to London’s most exclusive amenities, balanced by discreet residential enclaves tucked away from the bustle.

  • Architectural Character

    Knightsbridge combines grand red-brick Victorian terraces, white stucco townhouses, and imposing mansion blocks with some of London’s most iconic new-builds. The area is home to world-class branded residences such as One Hyde Park, The Knightsbridge, and 199 Knightsbridge, which set global benchmarks for luxury living. Many houses overlook Hyde Park or Belgrave Square, providing a rare combination of privacy and grandeur.

  • Lifestyle & Amenities

    Knightsbridge is the epicentre of international luxury retail. Harrods and Harvey Nichols anchor the area, while Sloane Street hosts flagship stores for the world’s leading designers. Dining ranges from Michelin-starred restaurants to private members’ clubs, catering to a global clientele. Proximity to the Royal Albert Hall, V&A and Serpentine Galleries ensures cultural vibrancy at the highest level.

  • Green Spaces & Wellness

    The neighbourhood borders Hyde Park, offering immediate access to 350 acres of open space for walking, riding and recreation. Private gyms, holistic clinics, and world-class spa facilities are seamlessly integrated into branded residences and discreet townhouse basements. For families, Knightsbridge provides both vibrancy and wellbeing in equal measure.

  • Schools & Connectivity

    Knightsbridge is well positioned for leading independent schools. Hill House International Junior School is on its doorstep, with Francis Holland (Sloane Square), Queen’s Gate School and Sussex House nearby.

    Connectivity is exceptional: Knightsbridge Underground station provides Piccadilly line access, and Heathrow is less than 40 minutes by car. Private aviation hubs at Farnborough and Northolt are within reach.

  • Market Insight

    Knightsbridge remains at the apex of London’s super-prime market. Trophy apartments in branded residences command £7,000–£10,000 per sq ft, setting global price records. Red-brick family houses and white stucco terraces are equally coveted, though supply is exceptionally limited. Many of the most significant transactions occur off-market, reflecting the area’s global client base and the premium placed on discretion.

  • Why Knightsbridge?

    Knightsbridge offers:
    - Global prestige and an internationally recognised address.
    - Architectural icons from Victorian terraces to branded residences.
    - Immediate access to luxury retail, dining and culture.
    - Hyde Park on the doorstep for space and seclusion.
