Knightsbridge is where London’s international buyer has historically felt most at home: Hyde Park on the doorstep, Harrods and Sloane Street for shopping, and the museums of South Kensington a short walk away. It is also home to many of the capital’s most serviced and secure apartment buildings.
What you buy here
Red-brick mansion apartments around Hans Place and Cadogan Square; garden-square houses on Montpelier Square, Ennismore Gardens and Trevor Square; and super-prime new-build residences with concierge, spa and parking. Diana appeared on Channel 4’s Britain’s Most Expensive Houses pitching for the listing of a £75m Knightsbridge mansion.
Who it suits
Buyers who want hotel-standard service and security, families splitting time between London and the Gulf or Asia, and investors looking for long-term value — Knight Frank identified Knightsbridge as one of the areas offering “interesting value at present”.
How DTL approaches it
The difference between two apartments in the same building can be significant. DTL looks hard at building management, service charges, lease terms, outlook and noise, and benchmarks every opportunity against recent comparable evidence before a principal commits.
