Chelsea, Knightsbrige and Belgravia: These London neighbourhoods stand for beautiful houses, chique cafes and restaurant, art galleries and high end shopping. The famous department store Harrods is located in Knightsbrige along with many many shops to go wild. Walk down Sloane Street, which is full with high end designer stores, to reach Sloane Square. Continue onto King's Road, one of London's most famous streets. Stop by Saatchi Gallery to check out the latest exhibition (they are always great). Next to Chelsea there is Belgravia where you can have coffee and cake at one of the cute cafes. Except Harrods this area is rather tourist free. While you're here you can also visit the nearby Albert & Victoria Museum or National History Museum. Both offer free admission. Nearest underground stations are Knightsbrige or Sloane Square, for the museums get off at South Kensington station.
