Knightsbridge

Knightsbridge, a prestigious district in central London south of Hyde Park, is renowned for its high-end retail outlets and affluent residential properties. The area's name originates from Old English, signifying "bridge of the young men or retainers," and has a rich history of exclusive shops, upscale restaurants, and luxurious amenities. With property prices among the highest globally, Knightsbridge is a sought-after location for the wealthy, with notable landmarks including the One Hyde Park apartment complex, where a unit sold for £100 million in 2007. The district is bordered by Exhibition Road, Sloane Street, Brompton Road, Beauchamp Place, and Pont Street, and has historical significance as a site of high-profile crimes such as the Spaghetti House siege and the Walton's Restaurant bombing. Knightsbridge is served by the Knightsbridge station on the Piccadilly line and the Sloane Square station on the District and Circle lines.
