Apart from its great location near the Knightsbridge sights, Harrods is just around the corner, as well as the museums of South Kensington, this compact apartment is a home with charm and personality. Its mostly white palette gives an overall modern feel but there are also a few characterful period features such as the fireplace, crown mouldings, and your host's grandfather's art collection. The terrace is a great bonus and a rare feature for a period home. If the weather turns, there's also a heated conservatory with seating just off the bedroom.

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!
