Perfectly placed for exploring London's cultural attractions, you’ll find the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum within walking distance of this South Kensington home. You’ll need to climb stairs to reach the apartment, but the effort is worth it – step inside, and you’ll find a sleek, open-plan space welcoming you in. The private terrace is an added bonus, just the spot for an evening glass of wine. And if you feel like cooking, the kitchen is ready for your culinary creations – although with a whole host of restaurants on your doorstep, dining out may well be on the menu.

About Knightsbridge
Opulence is the name of the game in Knightsbridge.

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!
