One street away from Harrods, this Knightsbridge apartment puts you right in the sophisticated heart of London. Apart from luxurious department stores, the area is home to the V&A, Natural History Museum and Hyde Park, all within a ten-minute walk. In the apartment's building, a 24-hour concierge can help arrange extras like a private chef, room service, and attraction and restaurant reservations. The home is luxuriously decorated in neutral tones of stone, beige and dusky pink. Two L-shaped sofas provide plenty of space for the whole group to spread out, and there is plenty of prep space, courtesy of sleek granite counters, in the kitchen. A mezzanine snug above the master bedroom adds a secret place to curl up with a book. End the evening with a glass of something fizzy on the balcony, set with a wrought-iron bistro set.

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!
