Knightsbridge & Belgravia
Westminster, London
PocketsKnightsbridge, Belgravia & Hyde Park (Church of St Mary · Spanish Embassy · The Rose Garden · Royal Geographical Society · Hyde Park)Victoria (south-west · south · Mulberry Square)
Knightsbridge and Belgravia covers the stretch from Hyde Park down to the edge of Buckingham Palace Gardens, one of the most exclusive residential addresses in Europe and home to the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal Geographical Society, and the stucco-fronted squares of Belgravia. Heritage sits at the ceiling: 448 listed buildings include the Grade I Marble Arch, the Grade I Spanish Embassy and the Grade I Royal Albert Hall, with 88.4% of the ward inside a conservation area. Nature scores well with the 138.6-hectare Hyde Park inside the ward and over 240 hectares of green overall, air quality is strong, and the food and retail layer runs to 150 food and 321 non-food venues. Connectivity is very good. The flipsides are market-driven: the market score is low as the high-end correction has hit transactions, the safety score is below average as footfall crime along the tourist circuits bites, and the planning score is low with almost no new-build supply.
