Spiritual home of the yummy mummy, Knightsbridge houses not one, but two of the mega brand emporiums – Al Fayed’s megalith Harrods, and Sloaney haven Harvey Nichols. The King’s Road is great for continental food from Partridges, Vivienne Westwood’s World’s End, and the curatorial efforts of Shop at Bluebird. Sloane Street is like a miniature doll-town Bond Street, with one of all the major brand names stretching its considerable length between Sloane Square and Knightsbridge tube stations. Check out Flavio Briatore’s somewhat humorous ‘Billionaire’, which stocks the Formula One boss’ favourite Italian couture menswear and the world’s most expensive umbrella. Because he can.
