If the streets of London were paved with gold it would be 24 carat in the squares of Brompton.
Living in Brompton
Brompton is a magnificent residential area south of Knightsbridge in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
In the approximate shape of a triangle, Brompton is bordered by Brompton Road, Sloane Street and Sloane Avenue.
Brompton is characterised by grand terraces of white stucco houses and magnificent mansion flats. It is also known for its stately squares complemented by mature private gardens, with Hans Place, Cadogan Square and Lennox Gardens being the prime examples.
Within walking distance of Brompton are the smart shops of Knightsbridge including the world-famous department stores of Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
Across Sloane Street is Belgravia where there is a mix of charming mews houses, terraces of five-storey townhouses, and giant porticoed mansions.
The vast green swathe of Hyde Park is due north of Brompton and to the west is the Victorian Brompton Oratory, a Roman Catholic Church based on classic Italianate designs.
On Brompton's western border is South Kensington where residents and visitors enjoy a rich supply of restaurants, cafés, bars, banks and independent shops.
To the south of Brompton is Chelsea's King's Road, resplendent with boutiques, restaurants, farmers' and antique markets, cinemas, Marks and Spencer and cool-looking people!
The Royal Brompton Hospital is on Sidney Street and the Royal Marsden Hospital is around the corner on Fulham Road.
