Harrods and Harvey Nicols are often the first words which come time to mind when Knightsbridge is mentioned. But not to diminish these two famous landmark shops, Knightsbridge is also home to many of the world's richest people and a Past Times source reveals that 14 of the most expensive streets in Britain are in Knightsbridge. Bordering to the south of leafy and green Hyde Park, and with strictly controlled Conservation areas, Knightsbridge development is limited. This said, a limited number of sites are coming though in the area - the Knightsbridge Army barracks is rumoured to be a future development space, and the old Chelsea barracks, a stone's throw from Sloane Square, is now well on the way with its development. Knightsbridge property has been synonymous with red brick mansions and white stucco houses, many of which are divided into luxury lateral apartments. But you just cannot mention Knightsbridge without thinking of the new icons on the block - One Hyde Park, an ultra modern luxury apartment block, but blending well with it’s surroundings and dominating Scotch Corner. Designed and built by the Candy Brothers, some of the highest values in London are here and, love them or hate them, they set a new tone for this prime London location.
