Images for The Knightsbridge Residences








THE KNIGHTSBRIDGE RESIDENCES AT CENTURY CITY TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE MOST EXPENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD IN LONDON.

Home to many of the globe's richest people, Knightsbridge commands the highest property prices in the world and is the location of 14 top most expensive streets in Britain.

Situated in the heart of London, with houses, apartment buildings and some with rare private gardens, it is also adjacent to Inner London's largest public park, Hyde Park.



In February 2007, Knightsbridge became famous for being the location of the world's most expensive apartment when a Qatari prince bought a home there for £100,000,000.



  • SHOPPING MECCA

    Knightsbridge is also home to the flagship stores of many British and international fashion houses, like renowned London-based designers Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik, Chanel, Cartier and Gucci. It is the headquarters of banks servicing high net-worth individuals, including Coutts-bankers to the Queen, rumoured to reject any potential clients worth less than £5 million.









    • Knightsbridge's notable residents include many British and European socialites and aristocrats: Roman Abramovich, the Russian tycoon who owns the Chelsea Football Club; oligarchs from Russia, China and India; international businessman Lord Marshall of Knightsbridge, Saudi and several other Middle Eastern Royal Dynasties; investment bankers and hedge fund managers.

      There are also trendsetters like Charles Saatchi and his television presenter wife, Nigella Lawson, famed fashion designers Valentino and Tom Ford, film stars such as Laetitia Casta, Hugh Grant, Sean Connery, and Joan Collins.

      Princes Diana, actress Sienna Miller and Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, all grew up at Knightsbridge.



  • WHAT MAKES LONDON'S KNIGHTSBRIDGE SO VALUABLE?





    "It is the address of desire for the world's crème de la crème."

    Knightsbridge is just a short stroll from Hyde Park, the boating attraction on the Serpentine Lake, and from luxury stores like Harvey Nichols at the corner of Harvey and Sloane Street. The neighborhood also is not far from the theaters in the West End.

    "And what's slightly hidden in Knightsbridge is the strong diplomatic presence in the area, which means you have a great deal of visible and invisible security. You can walk around at midnight or at 1AM and feel completely safe."

    "Knightsbridge also has the feel of a village in that it's a very residential area but with some of the world's best clubs, shops and restaurants within walking distance."

Hi, jimi, thank you for your introduction of The Knightsbridge Residence. The building looks very nice from the exterior. Judged from the provided perspectives, I feel that most of the units have a good view of the neighbourhood. Moreover, the design is flexible because it can cater for Mypod to Quartopod with five different interior designs. I like it very much. Thanks for sharing this with us!

This is not the Philippines of my childhood :-).

Wow, those are some nice digs. I wish I could afford to snap one up. But if we had that kind of money, honestly, I would buy a beach house in Palawan.

Got any of those?? :-)

Love the photos of the city at night especially.
