 The intersection at Knightsbridge is
often locked with traffic. Left at the traffic lights is Brompton Road, (the A4)
one of the main routes into London from Heathrow Airport and the West. Harrods
department store is 200 yards away, out of sight just around the bend. Ahead of
you at the traffic lights is the new development called One Hyde Park where a
penthouse flat has sold for £140million. The buildings, which overlook Hyde
Park to the rear, are heated in winter using geothermal energy from deep
underground. |
