T


he next time you’re plan- ning a visit to London, put Knightsbridge at the top of


your list of places to explore. Already one of London’s grandest


postcodes, a raft of recent openings and additions in Knightsbridge has transformed it into one of the most dynamic areas in London, with an enduring British character and an international flavour. Refined or relaxed, a stay in the


neighbourhood offers a host of unfor- gettable experiences, from art, culture and architecture to fashion, food and wellbeing.


Dine with distinction If you like to make food a focus of your travels, Knightsbridge will surpass your expectations. Try Harry’s Dolce Vita or Cicchetti for some of the best Italian dishes you’ll find this side of the Alps; Zuma or Te Aubrey for a sophisticated twist on the tradi- tional Japanese izakaya style of


dining; Feya for some of the most photogenic brunch dishes imagi- nable; Hawksmoor for steaks cooked to perfection; or Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants, with two Michelin stars.

At Harrods, you can experience treatments within its beauty suites from some of the best-loved beauty brands, including Chanel and La Prairie. While you’re there, you can have your make-up expertly done and your hair coiffed to perfection at Drybar. At Harvey Nichols, meanwhile,

something for every indi-


vidual taste. And, if you need a little help in that department, the brilliant personal shoppers at Harvey Nichols or Harrods will help you nail your style goals.
