Knightsbridge, SW7

Take a stroll down Knightsbridge and the first thing you’ll notice will be designer boutique after designer boutique. From Louis Vuitton to Giorgio Armani, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to high-end shopping. Add Harrods and Harvey Nichols (or Harvey Nicks to its fans), two of the world’s most famous department stores, to the mix and it’s no wonder Knightsbridge is such a hot spot for fashionistas.

Of course, if you’re going to look the business from head to toe, it’s vital that you have the right digs to match your look. This two-bedroom apartment on Basil Street, just a few minutes’ walk from Harrods, is stylish and contemporary. If a property could grace the catwalk, this apartment would certainly would be leading the line.

Chelsea, SW3

Chelsea may just be the original fashion area of London. Back in the 1960s, designers, artists, film directors and socialites descended to the King’s Road, making it one of the hippest places in the capital. To this day, it remains one of London’s most fashionable streets with designer boutiques and stylish restaurants.

Located one mile from Chelsea, you will find the Imperial Wharf development, which is set to the impressive backdrop to the River Thames. The residential development is fashionable in its own right, helping to regenerate the area of Sands End, which comes as no surprise considering its close proximity to the King’s Road. Rentals start from £375 per week.

Islington, N1

The indie fashion houses on Upper Street, Islington, have given the N1 postcode some serious credibility in the fashion world. Boutique shops mix with chic restaurants, to create an energetic and artistic atmosphere. Nearby areas of Dalston and Angel complement the style of Islington, making N1 one of the most current fashionable areas in London.

There’s a good mix of period properties and modern developments around Islington and Angel, offering styles to suit any fashion-forward people. This three-bedroom mews house is located just moments from chic bars, sought-after restaurants and lively cafes.

It may even be the shopping capital of the world, with Regent Street, Bond Street and Oxford Street regularly visited by people from all over the globe. Throw in eclectic restaurants and plush nightclubs and W1 is an area any socialite will be happy to be seen.

This two-bedroom apartment suits any glamourous people wanting to fully embrace the ‘London life’. It’s located in Mayfair, one of the most exclusive areas in the capital, and is a very short walk to the boutiques on Bond Street.
