Knightsbridge
History of the area
Knightsbridge’s origins are shrouded in legend. The fashionable streets were, for a long time, marshland, latticed by crossing points and bridges. One such bridge is responsible for Knightsbridge’s name. Upon it, passing knights en route to the Holy Land would trot, seeking a blessing from the Bishop of London at Fulham – the frequent parade of heraldic knights gave the name to the area. A slightly more intriguing tale suggests Knightsbridge was so named after a quarrel between knights. In the course of their great altercation, both knights plummeted into the river Westbourne, and, in honour of their combat, onlookers christened the area Knightsbridge.
Living in Knightsbridge
Wander down Walton Street, where you’ll find Dragons for elevated interiors and hand-painted children’s furniture, along with Andipa modern and contemporary art gallery, plus Joseph and Chanel stores. Take the weight off your feet at Scalini for some old school Italian dining, it’s not a restaurant, its a Knightsbridge institution.
