Knightsbridge & Chelsea
Knightsbridge is a district spanning the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, in the west area of central London, England. The area is famous for its cultural and educational institutions and for its association with the celebrities and millionaires. And of course, this is where Harrods and Harvey Nichols are located. Due to the continuing influx of multi-millionaires, this location is one of the most highly protected and secure districts in London.
Museums in the district include, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, the London residence of the Duke of Wellington and the Serpentine Gallery.
Knightsbridge is the noted home of flagship stores for many brands. The renowned London shoe designers Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik are also based around the area. There are not one, but two Chanel stores in the area, alongside banks for high net worth individuals, including Coutts, bankers to the Queen.
Knightsbridge is leafy, especially so, considering its location in the heart of London, with houses and apartment buildings situated around large private gardens.
It is also adjacent to inner London's largest public park, Hyde Park. In early 2007, properties in this area have sold off plan for in excess of £4,000 per square foot.
