Survey of London - v. 45 : Knightsbridge

This volume covers Knightsbridge, a district today synonymous with high-class shopping, fashionable living and smart addresses.

Although there has been a settlement at Knightsbridge since Medieval times, the area is now dominated by streets and buildings of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Illustrated with specially-commissioned drawings and a range of modern and historic photographs, this volume reveals something of the opulent world that exists behind the sober facades.
