Your Home Away From Home in London

For guests visiting London from the Middle East, choosing the right location can shape the entire stay. Convenience, privacy and space matter, particularly when travelling with family or planning a longer visit. It also helps to have London’s leading shops, restaurants and cultural landmarks close by, while retaining somewhere peaceful and private to return to.

Buckingham & Lloyds Knightsbridge offers exactly that balance. Set on a quiet residential street in one of London’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, our collection of serviced apartments in Knightsbridge places guests moments from Harrods and within easy reach of Sloane Street, Hyde Park and the wider attractions of central London.

Each apartment has been created as a true home from home, with spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens and comfortable bedrooms that allow guests to settle in properly. Rather than adjusting your stay to the limitations of a conventional hotel room, you have the freedom to dine, relax, entertain and spend time together in complete privacy.

The Buckingham & Lloyds difference is also found in the details surrounding your stay. Our concierge team can assist with private drivers, restaurant reservations, personal shopping appointments, nanny services, private chefs and carefully planned days beyond London. Whether you are arranging a family holiday, a seasonal shopping trip or an extended stay in the capital, every element can be shaped around your preferences.

We also understand that international travel plans can change. When booking directly with Buckingham & Lloyds, guests can select our Flexible Advance Rate, which allows cancellation up to seven days before arrival and provides added reassurance when planning a London stay.

Where Location, Privacy and Space Come Together

Finding where to stay in Knightsbridge is about more than selecting a prestigious postcode. The right accommodation should make London feel easier, giving you immediate access to the city while providing the comfort and privacy needed to enjoy your time away.

Buckingham & Lloyds Knightsbridge combines the service of an aparthotel with the space and independence of a private residence. Our apartments offer separate areas for sleeping, dining and relaxing, making them particularly well suited to families, groups and guests planning an extended stay in London.

A fully equipped kitchen gives you the option to prepare familiar meals, arrange grocery deliveries or invite a private chef to create a menu especially for you. Generous living spaces provide room to spend time together, while dedicated concierge support means assistance is available whenever it is needed.

The location places some of London’s most celebrated retail and dining experiences within walking distance. Harrods is moments away, while the boutiques of Sloane Street, the open spaces of Hyde Park and the museums of South Kensington are all easily accessible.

It is an ideal base for experiencing London without feeling as though you are constantly in transit. You can shop in the morning, return to your apartment to rest, and head out again for dinner or an evening performance when you are ready.

Shopping in Knightsbridge

Knightsbridge is recognised around the world as one of the finest destinations for luxury shopping in London. From internationally known department stores to elegant flagship boutiques, the area brings together fashion, jewellery, beauty, homeware and exceptional personal service within a relatively compact neighbourhood.

The Harrods Shopping Experience

No guide to shopping in Knightsbridge would be complete without Harrods. Located only moments from Buckingham & Lloyds, the landmark department store offers everything from international fashion houses and fine jewellery to beauty, children’s clothing, interiors and gourmet food.

Its location makes it easy to enjoy the Harrods shopping experience at a more relaxed pace. Guests can browse the departments in the morning, return to their Buckingham & Lloyds apartment between appointments, and continue later in the day without carrying everything across London.

Harrods also offers an extensive selection of restaurants and dining spaces within the store, ranging from relaxed cafés to special occasion dining. Its Dining Hall currently brings several cuisines together, including Lebanese dining at Em Sherif Hummus Bar, Japanese dishes and classic grill options. (Harrods)

The Buckingham & Lloyds concierge team can assist with shopping arrangements, restaurant reservations and transport, helping to make a day at Harrods feel effortless from beginning to end.

Sloane Street and Chelsea

A short distance from Harrods, Sloane Street offers a different style of Knightsbridge shopping. Its elegant avenue is lined with international fashion houses, jewellery brands and designer flagships, providing an open-air alternative to shopping beneath one roof.

Continue towards Sloane Square and the King’s Road to discover a broader mix of established designers, contemporary labels, interiors stores and cafés. This part of Chelsea is ideal for a slower afternoon, with opportunities to shop, stop for lunch and explore the surrounding streets at your own pace.

Harvey Nichols, Bond Street and Mayfair

Harvey Nichols is another Knightsbridge landmark, known for its edit of fashion, beauty, accessories and food. Its position close to Hyde Park Corner makes it easy to combine with Harrods and Sloane Street within the same day.

For fine jewellery, watches, art and additional designer flagships, Bond Street and Mayfair are only a short drive from your Buckingham & Lloyds apartment. Our concierge team can arrange a private driver, allowing you to move comfortably between appointments and return directly to Knightsbridge when you have finished.

A VIP Day at Bicester Village

For guests planning a dedicated shopping day beyond central London, a Bicester Village VIP experience makes a natural addition to the itinerary.

Located outside London in Oxfordshire, Bicester Village is home to more than 150 boutiques set along a landscaped, open-air shopping avenue. It is less than an hour from London by direct train and offers a quieter alternative to the busy shopping streets of the capital. (The Bicester Collection)

The Buckingham & Lloyds concierge team can help arrange your Bicester Village day from the moment you leave your apartment.

Private Transfers from Knightsbridge

A private driver to Bicester Village offers the easiest way to travel, with collection directly from your Buckingham & Lloyds apartment and a comfortable return to Knightsbridge once your shopping day is complete.

Guests who would prefer to drive themselves can also arrange a premium rental with our partners at THE OUT. A selected vehicle can be delivered directly to your London address and collected again after your journey, removing the usual need to visit a rental desk. THE OUT currently offers delivery and collection throughout London Zones 1 to 5. (The Out)

Travelling in your own vehicle also gives you the flexibility to explore Oxfordshire or extend the day with lunch outside the city before returning to London.

Personal Shopping and VIP Guest Services

As a Buckingham & Lloyds guest, our concierge can arrange a privileged experience at Bicester Village, subject to availability and the terms of the partnership at the time of your visit.

Your day may include preferred parking arrangements, access to The Apartment, a complimentary personal shopping appointment and exclusive savings across selected boutiques. Bicester Village also offers hands-free shopping, allowing purchases to be collected and packed while you continue browsing. (The Bicester Collection)

A personal shopper can help plan your route, identify pieces from selected boutiques and tailor recommendations to your style, preferred brands and shopping priorities. This can be particularly valuable when visiting for a limited time or shopping for several family members.

With more than 150 boutiques to explore, planning the day in advance allows you to focus on the designers and collections most relevant to you rather than moving through the Village without direction. Reserved parking and personal shopping services can be arranged before arrival, while the Buckingham & Lloyds team can coordinate timings with your transfer from Knightsbridge. (The Bicester Collection)

After a full day of shopping, your driver can return you directly to your apartment, where there is room to unpack, store your purchases and relax before the evening begins.

Dining Around Knightsbridge

The dining scene around Knightsbridge reflects the international character of the neighbourhood. Guests can choose between Lebanese and Turkish restaurants, renowned London dining rooms, relaxed cafés and restaurants within Harrods, all within easy reach of Buckingham & Lloyds.

Our concierge team can recommend restaurants near Harrods according to your preferences, confirm dietary requirements and make reservations on your behalf.

Em Sherif at Harrods

Em Sherif is an excellent choice for refined Lebanese dining in Knightsbridge. The restaurant’s first European location can be found inside Harrods, bringing its distinctive interpretation of Lebanese hospitality and cuisine to London.

Guests can choose the full Em Sherif restaurant on the Second Floor or visit Em Sherif Hummus Bar within the Harrods Dining Hall for a more relaxed experience. (Harrods)

Its location makes it particularly convenient after a day of shopping, and the menu offers familiar Lebanese flavours in an elegant setting only moments from your apartment.

Ishbilia

Ishbilia has served Lebanese and Arabic food in Knightsbridge since 1998 and is located on William Street, close to the Buckingham & Lloyds neighbourhood. Its menu is built around traditional mezze, grilled dishes and generous sharing plates, making it well suited to family meals and larger groups. (Ishbilia)

For guests looking for Middle Eastern restaurants in London that feel established and familiar, Ishbilia is a valuable local recommendation. Specific dietary requirements should always be confirmed with the restaurant when making a reservation.

The Mantl

The Mantl, situated on Brompton Road, offers contemporary Turkish dining in the heart of Knightsbridge. Its menu centres on mezze, charcoal-grilled meats and Anatolian flavours presented in a polished, modern setting.

The restaurant states that its halal commitment extends across its entire menu, making it a useful option for guests seeking halal restaurants in Knightsbridge. (The Mantl London)

Its central location also means it can be reached easily from both Harrods and Buckingham & Lloyds.

Dining at Harrods

Harrods itself offers a wide variety of places to eat, making it easy to combine shopping and dining without travelling elsewhere. Current options range from Em Sherif and the Harrods Dining Hall to The Georgian, The Grill and casual all-day cafés. (Harrods)

This variety is useful for families or groups with different preferences, as well as guests looking for somewhere convenient to meet during a day of shopping.

Restaurant concepts and menus can change, so our concierge team can confirm the most suitable current options and arrange a table before your visit.

Enjoy a Private Chef in Your Apartment

London has an exceptional restaurant scene, but dining out every evening may not always be the most comfortable option, particularly during a long stay or when travelling with children.

Buckingham & Lloyds can arrange a private chef in London to prepare a personalised menu in the comfort of your apartment. The experience can be adapted around dietary requirements, preferred cuisines, family favourites or a special celebration.

Rather than working around a fixed restaurant reservation, guests can dine at a time that suits them. Children can remain in a familiar environment, the evening can unfold without pressure, and the entire meal can be enjoyed in privacy.

It is also an ideal choice after a busy day at Bicester Village. Instead of preparing to go out again, you can return to your apartment, unwind and enjoy a carefully prepared dinner in your own dining space.

For guests who would prefer something simpler, the concierge team can arrange grocery deliveries, breakfast, takeaway recommendations or other in-apartment dining options.

Guests looking for more specialised Middle Eastern groceries in London can explore stores and food businesses around Edgware Road, where Arabic ingredients, breads, dates, sweets, coffee and familiar household products are widely available.
