London's exclusive Knightsbridge, in the fabulous Royal Borough
Of Kensington & Chelsea, is where style is at in Central
London. It is one of London's most attractive areas and it's
flagship store, the unique Harrods, and a host of renowned couture
houses all give the area an elegant exclusivity that is second to
none. Harrods has an amazing 300 departments within the store and
is itself one of London's major tourist attractions employing over
3000 staff.
Harvey Nichols is a chic alternative just along the road from
Harrods - a brilliant place to buy quality designer wear and a huge
range of beauty products. Along Sloane Street, many exclusive
brands have their large, stylish London shops - Christian Dior,
Chanel, Prada, Gucci, Aramani to name but a few. Quality serviced
apartments and 5* luxury hotels abound in Knightsbridge and there
are lots of brilliant top quality international restaurants where
you can dine in style. Some are Michelin starred and offer an
excellent selection of carefully prepared fare featuring cuisines
from around the globe.
Knightsbridge is the most fascinating place for people watching
and a fabulous place to watch top of the range sports cars as they
growl through the hustle and bustle of shoppers and traffic at
surprisingly low speeds!
Knightsbridge is also good for traditional English pubs and
quality restaurants, namely Osteria Romana, Dinner by Heston
Blumenthal, The Rosebery at Mandarin Oriental, Ognisko Restaurant,
Outlaw's At The Capital, Rivea London, Patara Thai Cuisine, the
Zuma Bar, Bulgari Hotel Bar, the Rib Room Bar and Restaurant, The
Blue Bar and Fifth Floor.
Knightsbridge lies along the south side of London's beautiful
Hyde Park and is bordered by Kensington (where London's major
museums are located), Earls Court (location of exhibition centre),
Belgravia and Chelsea.
The area is served by Knightsbridge Tube Station (on the
Piccadilly line) which is right beside Harrods (accessible by a
pedestrian tunnel) and the underground station at Hyde Park Corner
is just 7 minutes' walk away. The nearest railway station is
Victoria. If you are driving to London, you will be pleased to note
that NCP car parking is available at Knightsbridge Green and
Pavilion Road.
Two of our most popular serviced apartment
residences,
The Capital
Hotel and
Basil Street
Apartments are literally just 2 minutes' walk
from Harrods' entrance and are perfect for long weekends in the
capital. They are also popular with corporate executives working
temporarily in the area. We are often able to negotiate some very
good deals at these locations if you are visiting London out of
season so please call us on +44 208 421 5411 with your dates and
details of what you need. For those guests in the capital for
longer, particularly over the summer months, we offer a good
selection of unique serviced apartments and townhouses from
the
Cheval portfolio
- again located just a couple of minutes' walk from Harrods.
If you want to be nearby, but are on a slightly tighter budget,
then we suggest you consider the Belgravia area, where we offer the
excellent
Chesham Court -
great for couples and families alike.
We offer a number of five star 3 bedroom apartments in the area,
ideal if you are bringing your family to London for the summer. The
rates are obviously higher at that time of the year but we
guarantee you will not be disappointed with your choice!
For guests looking for an exclusive apartment in a classic
period residence then we would recommend
Beaufort House
Apartments in nearby Beaufort Gardens. Often
booked up from year to year by guests who love to return, we urge
you to let us know immediately you wish to stay here is
availability is scarce.
Another exclusive property we offer, also in Beaufort Gardens,
is
Claverley
Court. Ranging from small studios - ideal for an
individual or couple in London for a short stay - to 3 bedroom
luxury suites. All apartments offer 5* services. There is a 24 hour
reception desk and the apartments are serviced daily.
Claverley
Court is highly recommended - and of course is within
easy walking distance of Harrods of Knightsbridge.
Whilst in the Knightsbridge and Kensington area you will be able
to visit the Albert Memorial, Wellington Arch, Apsley House,
Brompton Oratory, the Royal Albert Hall, the Science Museum, the
Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
There's lots to do if you are bringing children to London -
particularly with these three fabulous hands-on museums.
Enthusiastic and knowledgeable - we love Knightsbridge and are
always here to help you!
Serviced apartments are the ideal
home from home offering you the freedom and independence of your
own accommodation, with kitchen and WiFi, alongside the services of
a good hotel including regular cleaning (including linen and towel
change) which is standard in all our properties.
