London ultra-short walk (15)

The Knightsbridge station exit 1 is across the road from Harvey Nichols department store, and to the left of the grand Mandarin Oriental hotel.


Just behind, there is a footpath called Serpentine walk which leads directly into Hyde Park, and a peaceful retreat from the noisy road junction here, often jammed with traffic.


If you want to see the Household Cavalry on their way from the nearby barracks making their way to Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard, you should be here at about 10.20am (weekdays).
