Today’s Knightsbridge is a recent cross-border development. This book breaks new ground by uncovering an earlier, larger Knightsbridge and showing why its initial extent and history have been largely forgotten. Pre-1900 Knightsbridge/Westminster included today’s Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, almost half of ’South Kensington’, and Hyde Park west of the Serpentine (or river Westbourne). This volume explores why so much of Knightsbridge has been lost to memory, becoming thought of only in terms of Westminster, Hyde or (until 1900 entirely wrongly) Kensington.
