In the heart of Knightsbridge, this apartment is the epitome of elegance. Sky-high ceilings, expansive windows, sparkling crystal chandeliers – the details here perfectly embody the prestigious locale. There's room for everyone to enjoy themselves in the living area, while the two en-suite bedrooms also ensure privacy. The cherry on top is the small but sweet balcony, where you can linger with a glass of wine and admire the neighbourhood's red-brick buildings. Ready to explore? Harrods is a five-minute stroll away, Hyde Park is walkable in ten, and South Kensington's museums are just fifteen minutes on foot.

Local guide
About Knightsbridge
Opulence is the name of the game in Knightsbridge. This is London at its most grand and lavish: an area where many of your neighbours think nothing of picking up their daily groceries at Harrods and taking their dogs for a walk in Hyde Park before breakfast. Ideally located for exploring many of central London's key sights, Knightsbridge is also a mecca for high-end shopoholics. Thrifty types should look elsewhere!
