Recommended Attraction in Knightsbridge
Well obviously you must look around Harrods, even if your wallet is barren. There’s endless fun to be had in this cavernous edifice of commerce, most notably the toy department, the food court and the music department if you’re musical. It’s also a good idea to wait until Christmas to get yourself down there for the most festive treat this side of Lapland – decorations on a Hollywood scale will have you blinking in dazzled amazement, and there’s also London’s most famous Santa’s Grotto…

Alternative Things To Do in Knightsbridge
The main sticking-point that most people have with Knightsbridge is the price-tag. There’s masses to do if your salary involves an outlandish series of zeroes, however for Joe Bloggs, things such as eating out can be a bit steep. That’s not to say impossible, though, as there’s a fair amount of reasonably priced Middle Eastern cuisine about, and Hyde Park is less than a stone’s throw away.
