Beautifully framed by leafy Hyde Park, Belgravia’s cobbled mews and the renowned museums and galleries of Kensington, Knightsbridge has been a destination for couture and culture for generations. First gaining the attention of the capital’s fashion crowd in the Swinging Sixties, today the neighbourhood is home to designer ateliers and global flagships, a bustling foodie scene and some of London’s finest historical landmarks. And it’s all just a hop, skip and short stroll away from The Berkeley.
Once an area of marshland, legend has it that the area became known as Knightsbridge following an altercation between two knights – which saw them both fall from a bridge, into the water below. Fast-forward five hundred years, and Knightsbridge began to evolve into one of London’s most distinguished postcodes. This is a place to see, and be seen – where instead of knights, it’s the boutiques, galleries, cafés and award-winning eateries that jostle for attention on its storied streets.
