One of London’s most sought-after areas, Knightsbridge offers a plethora of boutiques and historical landmarks alike.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knightsbridge sounds very regal indeed; it lives up to its lavish-sounding name and then some. It\u2019s considered one of London’s<\/em> most prestigious districts, having been home to poets, actors, politicians and even meteorologists! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GREEN SPACES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Knightsbridge actually benefits from being almost directly next to Hyde Park. You may have already heard this name but if you haven\u2019t: Hyde Park is one of London’s most popular and well-loved parks and recreation areas. <\/em>Festivals, celebratory events, concerts and gigs regularly occur here, making it certainly lively enough at times. Don\u2019t fret if you\u2019re a fan of peace and quiet though. Although ordinarily bustling, Hyde Park does have more than its fair share of tranquil moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can traverse Hyde Park via bicycle, boat, good ol\u2019 fashioned walking or even by horseback. There are also various facilities where you can swim in The Serpentine. Not as spooky as it sounds: The Serpentine is a 40-acre lake that was created way back in 1730! <\/em>If you\u2019d rather rest than swim laps, cosy up at one of the waterside cafes with a cappuccino and a good book. Or better yet, a good pal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another, perhaps more prestige, park nearby Knightsbridge is Ennismore Gardens. This is more Victorian-era in aesthetic. It\u2019s bordered by wrought iron fencing and fine townhouses peer over the trees. Ennismore Gardens certainly seems to be more of an area to take five and relax. As Knightsbridge is so central in London, you may have to travel a little outwards<\/em> to find more bounteous leafy sights. Despite this, the small slices of nature you can<\/em> find are lovely enough in themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THINGS TO DO<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, Knightsbridge is an affluent and incredibly central district. Did you know that it counts as an attraction itself? There are so many high-end shops and historic sights that locals and tourists alike flock to its streets. We\u2019ve already introduced you to just some of what Hyde Park <\/em>has to offer, here\u2019s what else is in store in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
