When most people think of the posh area of Knightsbridge, London, they think of Harrods, but there’s more to it than the famed department store. With its luxury shops, quaint cafés, and fine dining, it’s a place to unwind and relax.
Knightsbridge has been around since the 10th century. Previously known as St. Martin in the Fields, it was under King Edward I that the area grew in influence. In the 19th century, Japanese culture impacted the area as trade opened between Britain and the Far East, and in 1887, Knightsbridge opened a Japanese exhibition.
