Luxury Apartments and Townhouses in Knightsbridge
Apartments and townhouses between Hyde Park and Harrods, a short walk from the great museums of South Kensington
As featured in
Hyde Park on one side, Harrods on the other
Knightsbridge takes its name from an old crossing over the Westbourne, a river that now runs out of sight beneath the streets. Today the neighbourhood sits between Hyde Park and the red terracotta of Harrods. It is one of the most polished corners of London, and it is also more residential than its reputation suggests, with quiet squares and garden terraces behind the shopfronts of Brompton Road and Sloane Street.
Our Knightsbridge collection runs to 90+ homes. Most are apartments in mansion blocks and converted townhouses, some with views over Harrods or towards the park, and there are a few whole townhouses for families who want room to spread out.
Here is a guide to the streets, the park, the museums and the best time to come.

Department stores, boutiques and quiet squares
Harrods dominates Brompton Road, and its Food Halls are worth a visit even if you buy nothing more than a loaf. Harvey Nichols stands on the corner of Sloane Street, which runs south towards Chelsea lined with fashion houses. Beauchamp Place and Walton Street are smaller and more intimate, with independent boutiques and good neighbourhood restaurants.
A few minutes behind the shops it all goes quiet. Hans Place, an oval garden square where Jane Austen stayed with her brother Henry, is typical of the red-brick streets of Hans Town. An apartment here puts you close to everything while feeling properly residential.

Rotten Row, the Serpentine and the cavalry
Hyde Park begins across the road, and few places in London give you this much green space so close to home. Rotten Row is still used by riders. The Serpentine has rowing boats and a lido for summer swimming, and the Serpentine galleries put up a new pavilion by a leading architect each summer.
The Household Cavalry's barracks stand at the park's southern edge, and on most mornings the troopers ride out towards Horse Guards to mount the King's Life Guard. If you are up early with a coffee, you will hear them before you see them.

Exhibition Road and the Royal Albert Hall
The Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum are all a short walk west, along and around Exhibition Road. The permanent collections are free, so a rainy afternoon costs nothing. On the way you pass the Brompton Oratory, a great Italianate church with a fine choral tradition.
The Royal Albert Hall sits on the edge of Kensington Gardens, and from July to September it hosts the BBC Proms, the world's largest classical music festival. Walking home across the park after a concert is one of the real pleasures of staying here.
Proms in summer, lights at Christmas
Knightsbridge is good at any time of year, but each season has its own appeal. May brings the Chelsea Flower Show, just down Sloane Street at the Royal Hospital. Summer is for the park, the Proms and long evenings outside. From November into early January, Winter Wonderland fills part of Hyde Park and the shopfronts on Brompton Road are lit for Christmas.
You will eat very well without going far, from hotel dining rooms to Lebanese and Italian places on the side streets. Our concierge can book tables, Proms tickets and private shopping appointments, and arrange airport transfers.

Why book your apartment in Knightsbridge with Excellence Luxury Villas
The right house, not the nearest one
Knightsbridge changes from one street to the next, from busy Brompton Road to silent garden squares, and we know which apartments are quiet at night while still being only a few minutes' walk from the park and the shops. With 90+ properties in Knightsbridge, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Restaurant reservations, Proms and theatre tickets, private shopping appointments, museum tours, nannies and transfers from Heathrow. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
