One Hans Crescent, Knightsbridge, SW1

Anywhere that can claim Harrods as their local convenience shop has got to near the top of London's glamour tree. A handsome Edwardian red brick residence containing 31 apartments, duplexes and penthouses, One Hans Crescent is right next door to the world's most exclusive retail outlet. Aside from its salubrious location, it fully epitomises the elegance and building ingenuity of period architecture in Knightsbridge. The street itself is named after Sir Hans Sloane, an influential 18th Century Royal physician whose name was also given to nearby Sloane Square.

A redeveloped SW1 courthouse, the exclusivity of One Hans Place became the stuff of legend in 2002, when all the units were snapped up within 90 minutes of becoming available. Even a 2010 interior upgrade was deemed important enough to warrant its own glitzy launch party. Suffice to say, apartment availability for rental purposes is pretty scarce but those who do get lucky will enjoy luxury that is as discreet as it is opulent. A 24 hour concierge service, full security and a private lift ensure that nothing penetrates the exclusive atmosphere of one of the Capital's finest addresses.

Rental properties are quite rare but we do get instructions occasionally so if you are interested in living here, do contact us to see if we have anything currently available.
