Knightsbridge has a sizable reputation of world class luxury.
London is a vibrant, culturally diverse and perpetually evolving city made up of a series of interconnected, but independent, neighborhoods. In all, London is broken up into 32 boroughs that make up what is known as Greater London. Within those 32 boroughs there are roughly 48 neighborhoods as some straddle between two boroughs.
One of the smallest neighborhoods in London, Knightsbridge has a sizable reputation of world-renowned luxury and is known as the home of the super wealthy, the city’s top destination for prestigious fashion designers and a must-visit destination.
Knightsbridge takes its name from a former bridge over the River Westbourne, where youths nicknamed knights congregated – knights bridge. These days, Knightsbridge is one of the main streets leading from Hyde Park Corner to Kensington Road.
Knightsbridge evokes the desire for quintessential England.
With a desirable address in the beloved borough of Westminster Kensington and Chelsea, Knightsbridge evokes the desire for quintessential England with architecture made of red brick rich history, nature and shopping steps away at the iconic Sloane Street, which is lined with high-end designer stores as well as the legendary department store, Harrods. Enjoy an exquisite afternoon tea and luxurious accommodations at The Park Tower Knightsbridge where you’ll dine in The Knightsbridge Lounge, adorned with trompe l’oeil floral artworks and an 18-foot chandelier. Or enjoy a pint or two of famed British ale at one of the area’s famous pubs, such as The Nag’s Head or the Grenadier.
The Carlton Tower Jumeirah’s Al Mare restaurant offers gourmet fare.
Beyond the allure of its retail therapy, Knightsbridge also boasts premier hospitality at five-star hotels like The Carlton Tower Jumeirah, a property that has contributed to the fashion district’s long-standing reputation of glamour and style since opening as the city’s first tower hotel in 1961, and continued to draw attention from movie stars, supermodels and musicians.
