London is an amazing city with diverse people, delicious foods, amazing architecture and incredible real estate. Like any other major metropolitan area, there many beautiful homes that have sky-high price tags, but we believe these to be the most exclusive neighborhoods in London.
Most Exclusive Neighborhoods in London
Knightsbridge
One of the most exclusive neighborhoods in London is Knightsbridge, with its Underground Station being next to 1 Hyde Park – the most expensive privately-owned real estate in the UK. This ultra-upmarket area lies to the west of central London and includes the iconic luxury department stores of Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
You know the saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans do? We at London Perfect say, when in Knightsbridge, stay at a special address! The Gloucester is an elegant and fanciful Victorian home that sleeps six. Its four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and private balcony overlook the beauty of the Cornwall Gardens. It’s also the perfect postcode for Knightsbridge and Museum Row.
Kensington
The Kensington neighborhood is often synonymous with Kensington Palace, Princess Diana’s former residence, and is as exclusive as it gets. Weighing in just under £1,200 per square foot, property ownership here is only available to the most affluent clientele.
The Victoria and Albert Museum and Royal Albert Hall are based in South Kensington. You’re bound to run into a few celebrities, the rich and the royal, and many foreign language students here.
Belgravia
The home of chef Nigella Lawson, the Belgravia neighborhood is one of the wealthiest wards in London. Situated centrally in the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, it’s located near Buckingham Palace and is known for its palatial and posh real estate. Belgravia is easily one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in London.

Chelsea
Chelsea has a median home price of £1.3 million today, making it one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in London. In the 19th century, Chelsea became a Victorian artists’ colony and established itself as a prosperous quarter.
