Knightsbridge is one of the most attractive and unchanged areas of central London, and has remained predominantly residential, and therefore quiet, with very few offices. There are plenty of restaurants and many famous shops. Harrods is the most famous of the local shops, and has over 300 departments selling everything you could possibly imagine. Harvey Nichols is a chic alternative with 3 floors of designer wear, a huge beauty department and delectable delicacies on the 5th floor.
The Victoria and Albert Museum is one of the most influential museums of decorative arts in the world. It has over 140 galleries housing around 4 million artifacts, ranging from ceramics and costumes, to metalwork and sculpture.
The Royal Albert Hall is an internationally renowned venue offering visitors a wide variety of entertainment: classical music, rock and pop events, jazz, sporting events and spectacular galas, banquets and balls.
