Knightsbridge is an exclusive residential and retail district in central London, south of Hyde Park. It is identified in the London Plan as one of two international retail centres in London, alongside the West End.
In the time of Edward I, the manor of Knightsbridge appertained to the abbey of Westminster. It was named after a crossing of the River Westbourne, which is now an underground river. It is recorded that the citizens of London met Matilda of England at the Knight's Bridge in 1141.
From 1885 to 1887, as a result of the opening of trade between Britain and the Far East, Humphreys' Hall in Knightsbridge hosted an exhibition of Japanese culture in a setting built to resemble a traditional Japanese village. The exhibition was very popular, with over 250,000 visitors during its early months. Japanese artisans illustrated "the manners, customs, and art-industries of their country, attired in their national and picturesque costumes. Magnificently decorated and illuminated Buddhist temple. Five o’clock tea in the Japanese tea-house. Japanese Musical and other Entertainments. Every-day Life as in Japan".W.S. Gilbert and his wife attended the exhibition, which is said to have inspired him to write The Mikado. When the Mikado requests of Ko-Ko the address of his son (Nanki-Poo) after Ko-Ko tells the Mikado that Nanki-Poo has "gone abroad," Ko-Ko replies that Nanki-Poo has gone to Knightsbridge.

[4K HDR] This elegant enclave in London’s West End has a reputation for its famous department stores, boutiques and hotels, but that wasn’t always the case..
Today, Knightsbridge might be one of London’s most swish shopping districts, but it wasn't always quite so fashionable. Once, it was a sleepy 10th century hamlet that served the religious community of an Anglo-Saxon church. The parish’s name comes in part from its proximity to a medieval stone bridge that used to straddle the river Westbourne, which now runs underground.
The first half of the name is even more intriguing. Legend has it, it comes from a bloody folk tale in which a knight called Sir Knyvett was jumped by thieves, whom (unfortunately for them) he subsequently overpowered and slew on the spot. This self-same spot is recorded as the meeting place of Queen Matilda and a deputation from the citizens of London in 1141, during the civil war now known as cheerily as ‘The Anarchy’. Quite the colourful past.
Thankfully, by the 16th century, the place had shed its reputation as a site for feuding and conflict, and started to move up in the world thanks to its proximity to St James’s Palace. By the mid-19th century, the affluent folk of burgeoning St James’s had spilled out into Knightsbridge, and in 1849 a savvy shopkeeper called Mr Charles Henry Harrod opened a green grocer and tea merchant to cater to the area’s wealthy residents. In the 1860s, his son (also called Charles) took over the reigns and built the giant department store that still stands there today, albeit in different hands.
Just up the street from Harrods, another bastion of British retail took root at more or less the same time. In 1831, the influx of wealthy West Enders inspired one Benjamin Harvey to establish a linen shop in a terraced house on the corner of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. He employed an industrious chap called Mr Nichols, whom he evidently took a shine to. Nichols was promoted to a director in 1845 and in 1848 he married Harvey’s niece. In 1889, the company’s modest space was demolished to make way for a new department store capable of competing with neighbouring Harrods, which was going great guns just up the street. The building was designed by C.W. Stephens and by 1894, the Harvey Nichols we know today was likewise open for business.
Of course, Knightsbridge is also home to a fair few luxury hotels; the Mandarin Oriental with its superb afternoon tea, the Wellesley and our personal favourite, The Berkeley, to name a few. The Berkeley is part of the trio of London hotels owned by the Maybourne group, the other two being Claridge’s and The Connaught – easily three of the best hotels in Europe. The Berkeley opened in 1897, and has kept pace with the times ever since. Today, the hotel’s iconic Blue Bar is known for impeccable service, award winning bar staff and an inventive cocktail menu, which changes seasonally with the passing of each new trend in the mixology world. It’s the perfect recuperation point following an afternoon’s shopping.

[4K HDR] This elegant enclave in London’s West End has a reputation for its famous department stores, boutiques and hotels, but that wasn’t always the case..
Today, Knightsbridge might be one of London’s most swish shopping districts, but it wasn't always quite so fashionable. Once, it was a sleepy 10th century hamlet that served the religious community of an Anglo-Saxon church. The parish’s name comes in part from its proximity to a medieval stone bridge that used to straddle the river Westbourne, which now runs underground.
The first half of the name is even more intriguing. Legend has it, it comes from a bloody folk tale in which a knight called Sir Knyvett was jumped by thieves, whom (unfortunately for them) he subsequently overpowered and slew on the spot. This self-same spot is recorded as the meeting place of Queen Matilda and a deputation from the citizens of London in 1141, during the civil war now known as cheerily as ‘The Anarchy’. Quite the colourful past.
Thankfully, by the 16th century, the place had shed its reputation as a site for feuding and conflict, and started to move up in the world thanks to its proximity to St James’s Palace. By the mid-19th century, the affluent folk of burgeoning St James’s had spilled out into Knightsbridge, and in 1849 a savvy shopkeeper called Mr Charles Henry Harrod opened a green grocer and tea merchant to cater to the area’s wealthy residents. In the 1860s, his son (also called Charles) took over the reigns and built the giant department store that still stands there today, albeit in different hands.
Just up the street from Harrods, another bastion of British retail took root at more or less the same time. In 1831, the influx of wealthy West Enders inspired one Benjamin Harvey to establish a linen shop in a terraced house on the corner of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. He employed an industrious chap called Mr Nichols, whom he evidently took a shine to. Nichols was promoted to a director in 1845 and in 1848 he married Harvey’s niece. In 1889, the company’s modest space was demolished to make way for a new department store capable of competing with neighbouring Harrods, which was going great guns just up the street. The building was designed by C.W. Stephens and by 1894, the Harvey Nichols we know today was likewise open for business.
Of course, Knightsbridge is also home to a fair few luxury hotels; the Mandarin Oriental with its superb afternoon tea, the Wellesley and our personal favourite, The Berkeley, to name a few. The Berkeley is part of the trio of London hotels owned by the Maybourne group, the other two being Claridge’s and The Connaught – easily three of the best hotels in Europe. The Berkeley opened in 1897, and has kept pace with the times ever since. Today, the hotel’s iconic Blue Bar is known for impeccable service, award winning bar staff and an inventive cocktail menu, which changes seasonally with the passing of each new trend in the mixology world. It’s the perfect recuperation point following an afternoon’s shopping.

Knightsbridge is an exclusive residential and retail district in central London, south of Hyde Park. It is identified in the London Plan as one of two international retail centres in London, alongside the West End.
In the time of Edward I, the manor of Knightsbridge appertained to the abbey of Westminster. It was named after a crossing of the River Westbourne, which is now an underground river. It is recorded that the citizens of London met Matilda of England at the Knight's Bridge in 1141.
From 1885 to 1887, as a result of the opening of trade between Britain and the Far East, Humphreys' Hall in Knightsbridge hosted an exhibition of Japanese culture in a setting built to resemble a traditional Japanese village. The exhibition was very popular, with over 250,000 visitors during its early months. Japanese artisans illustrated "the manners, customs, and art-industries of their country, attired in their national and picturesque costumes. Magnificently decorated and illuminated Buddhist temple. Five o’clock tea in the Japanese tea-house. Japanese Musical and other Entertainments. Every-day Life as in Japan".W.S. Gilbert and his wife attended the exhibition, which is said to have inspired him to write The Mikado. When the Mikado requests of Ko-Ko the address of his son (Nanki-Poo) after Ko-Ko tells the Mikado that Nanki-Poo has "gone abroad," Ko-Ko replies that Nanki-Poo has gone to Knightsbridge.
