The Harrods Neighborhood

17.12.20

Knightsbridge and the roads directly surrounding the Harrods store have always been one of London’s most desirable locations, but as Christmas shoppers try to fulfil their festive wish-lists, Harrods Estates has witnessed a surge in demand of its properties, just footsteps from the eponymous world-famous store.

Shaun Drummond, Harrods Estates Director of Sales, explained that “In the last few weeks, the Harrods store has ingeniously created a Christmas Gateway allowing shoppers to click and collect in a Covid-secure fashion. Those looking at properties in and around Harrods and the highly exclusive Hans Town enclave, have seen shoppers collecting their purchases – products that you can only get at Harrods – and realised that having Harrods as your local corner shop has huge appeal.”

Drummond added, “In the last two weeks our properties in The Lansbury - a new development on Basil Street opposite Harrods and Washington House, also on Basil Street along with several other properties on Hans Road and Hans Place have had a significant increase in enquiries and viewings.”

The Lansbury is ideal for getting ahead on Christmas shopping, this 1,485 square foot duplex apartment is located in a small exclusive block directly opposite the newly re-opened Harrods store and a few moments’ walk from the retail wonderland of Brompton Road and Sloane Street. With a wide-ranging choice of designer shops for those last-minute Christmas presents; residents can also take a much-needed retail rest at the award-winning Capital Hotel close by, which is perfect for a festive afternoon tea.

The apartment itself has been fitted with high spec full air conditioning, underfloor heating, Creston smart home automated system and interior designed with bespoke furnishings by leading Design firm, Finchatton. There is also a daily concierge, enabling receipt of essential shopping deliveries to be seamless. This property is currently on the market with Harrods Estates for £4,500,000.
