Tucked well away from busy roads and just a few minutes’ walk from Clapham Common underground station, you’ll find a neat parade of traditional shops that extends into a residential street of attractive Victorian houses, with brick facades and stucco detailing around the doors and windows. Nicknamed “Abbeville Village”, there’s a real community atmosphere here, which is why it’s so popular with families.
The property is located on a quieter stretch of the road a short walk away from the main shopping and restaurant area which is located between Bonneville Gardens and Hambalt Road. This is the beating heart of the ‘village’, where you’ll find butchers, bakers, delicatessens, supermarkets, florists, beauty salons, barbers and other boutiques, not to mention a good sprinkling of cafes, restaurants and gastro pubs. A street fete takes place here each year with various food and handicraft stalls, a dog show, live music and even a waiters’ race by the staff from the local eateries.
Abbeville Road’s nearest tube station is Clapham Common, which connects directly to both the West End and City via the Northern Line. From the station you can reach Leicester Square in 18 minutes and Bank underground station in 17 minutes.
Knightsbridge is a place of exceptional contrast, the like of which cannot be found in any other central London location. It is an area that offers all the vibrancy and elegance which epitomises the highest standards of cosmopolitan city living, entwined within a historic architectural context of red brick.
To the north is the wide green expanse of Hyde Park, an area of calm beauty where the buzz of the city fades away into over 250 hectares of Royal parkland.
