With views over Egerton Gardens and the Victoria and Albert Museum, you can see much of Knightsbridge from the hotel's upper-floor windows. It's a prospect that never fails to excite. London's finest museums and its most exclusive shops are all within five minutes' walk. Children love the Natural History Museum's dinosaurs and the Science Museum's hands-on exhibits, while art-lovers make for the Victoria and Albert Museum. Shoppers head straight for nearby Harrods, the world's most famous department store, as well as Harvey Nichols, and the long rows of glittering shops along Brompton Road, Sloane Street, and the King's Road.
