Knightsbridge Office Space

Amongst the highly sought-after real estate that Knightsbridge offers is its office space, with its occupiers enjoying access to the exceptional amenities offered by its retail and leisure counterparts.

Knightsbridge is located south of Hyde Park and neighbours the West End. It is also the name of the thoroughfare that runs near the south side of Hyde Park from Hyde Park Corner. The locale covers the SW1X, SW3, and SW7 postcode districts.

Knightsbridge lies to the north of Chelsea, west of Belgravia, and east of South Kensington. It is located between Exhibition Road and Sloane Street. Brompton Road, Beauchamp Place, and the western section of Pont Street act roughly as its southern boundary, together with their gardens and squares, including Cadogan Square, Lennox Gardens, and Ovington Square.

The Toponymy of Knightsbridge

The name derives from the ancient name first recorded in 1050 as Cnihtebricge, which roughly translates to ‘bridge of the warriors on horseback’, as the area, close to a crossing of the River Westbourne, had been a popular meeting point for such men.

Today, its real estate has become some of the most sought-after in London. Many of the capital’s most expensive streets are located in Knightsbridge, with prime residential properties commanding up to £7,000 per square foot.

The International Appeal of Knightsbridge

The district has been attracting international buyers since the late 1970s due to its homes delivering five-star levels of comfort and discretion. It is home to super prime addresses such as Cadogan Place, Egerton Crescent, Hans Place, and Montpelier Square.

Possibly, the most high-profile residential address in the district is One Hyde Park, where over £1 billion worth of apartments have been sold since ground was broken.

With extraordinary levels of service, including room service via a tunnel from the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel next door, an 18,000 square foot five-bed penthouse apartment complete with a 21-metre swimming pool was on the market in 2024 for £175 million.

The Benefits of Choosing Knightsbridge

Along with leased office space, Knightsbridge is seeing a growing number of flexible office space options, including luxury serviced private offices, managed office suites, and co-working spaces.

In contrast to their leased counterparts, these are held on short-term licences yet offer the option to extend at the end of the term. The flexible contacts also allow a business to expand within a building as needs dictate, with many buildings offering suites with space for 100+ people.

The added advantage of flexible workspaces is that they are priced in an all inclusive manner meaning that the monthly fee is inclusive of rent, utilities, security, services charge, cleaning, enterprise-grade and secure IT systems, furnishings and so forth. The rental fee also covers items such as ad hoc boardroom use and services provided by the reception, secretarial and concierge teams.
