Knightsbridge is a road which gives its name to an exclusive district lying to the west of Central London.

The eponymous district comprises the areas immediately surrounding Knightsbridge (the road) on the north, Sloane Street to its junction with Pont Street, and Brompton Road to its junction with Beauchamp Place. The district is notable as an expensive residential area, and for the density of its upmarket retail outlets, famously Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
For strategic planning the area is identified as one of two international centres in the London Plan.
