OUR VIEW
Before the Victorian expansion westward, away from the Thames, Knightsbridge was an area of worker's cottages and modest, semi-rural suburbs. Where elegant town houses now stand, the inhabitants of Knightsbridge used to enjoy a weekly cattle market and dancing around a Maypole on the village green.
A dirt track led from Knightsbridge to the neighbouring hamlet of Broom Farm, later to become Broom Town, and eventually, Brompton. Brompton Park nursery was built by the royal gardener, Henry Wise, to provide flowering shrubs and trees to fashionable Society. Across from the site of the nursery stands a London icon in the form of Harrod's. The shop was founded by Henry Harrod, a grocer and tea merchant. It was Harrod's son, Charles, who oversaw the expansion of the grocery shop into perhaps the world's most famous store, aided enormously when visitors began flocking to the Knightsbridge area following the Great Exhibition of 1851.
