London's most exclusive address

It's home to swanky restaurants, designer boutiques and a string of world-class museums. You'll also be just steps from Hyde Park. While Knightsbridge is best known for its lavish shopping, much of the district is dominated by tree-lined streets and elegant terrace houses. With Knightsbridge vacation rentals, you can unlock access to a host of properties in the heart of the neighborhood. Armed with your own set of keys, you'll soon feel like a local.
Museum hopping on Exhibition Road
Knightsbridge is home to some of London's finest museums, with the majority clustered along Exhibition Road. With a foundation stone laid by Queen Victoria herself, the V&A is a British institution. It celebrates applied arts from across the globe, from furniture and textiles to ceramics and sculpture. Next door is the cavernous Natural History Museum. It's housed in a Romanesque "cathedral of nature" and welcomes visitors with an enormous Blue Whale skeleton. From compact studios to luxury apartments, Knightsbridge vacation rentals put you just steps from both museums.
Spend it in style
With 7 floors and over 300 departments, Harrods is one of the world's most famous retail destinations. Inside, you'll find a treasure trove of high-end fashion brands, designer homewares, gourmet groceries and more. If you're feeling extravagant, why not visit the food hall for champagne and oysters? It's also a great place to pick up gourmet fare before heading to Hyde Park for a picnic. For local designers and global fashion houses, make a beeline for Beauchamp Place. Nearby Sloane Street is also a high-end retail hub. Swipe-happy shoppers will swoon over Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton and more.
Summer sunshine in Knightsbridge
Summer is high season in London, when the city enjoys long days and lashings of sunshine. It's a fantastic time to museum hop on Exhibition Road, window shop at Beauchamp Place or relax in Hyde Park. Planning a summer city break? From romantic suites to family-sized apartments, you'll feel right at home with Knightsbridge vacation rentals. If you want to beat the crowds, consider visiting London in spring or fall.
