Mixed & Civic Westminster
Knightsbridge & Brompton Road: Luxury retail, embassy properties, premium residential, hotel-adjacent.
Knightsbridge combines some of Westminster's most visible commercial frontages with ultra-premium residential properties and embassy buildings. The decorating work is split between retail and hospitality spaces that need fast, controlled delivery and private homes where finish quality and discretion matter equally. Getting the working style right for each is the real challenge.
