A five-bedroom penthouse in London's exclusive Knightsbridge district has captured public attention after featuring on Channel 4's Britain’s Most Expensive Houses. Priced at an astonishing £80 million, the property has sparked widespread discussion online, with many questioning its value and potential use as a second home.
Situated on the tenth floor of The Knightsbridge Apartments at 199 Knightsbridge, the 9,437 sq ft penthouse offers panoramic views of Hyde Park and iconic London landmarks such as Harrods and Big Ben. The residence boasts five bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, two expansive reception rooms, a private cinema, a sauna equipped with a television, and a 10-metre swimming pool on the rooftop terrace.
The Knightsbridge Apartments, completed in 2005, are renowned for their luxury amenities, including 24-hour concierge service, a spa, and secure underground parking. The building was developed by Sammy Sean Lee and designed by Squire and Partners.
During the Channel 4 episode, estate agent Josh Marks from Park Lord highlighted the property's appeal to international buyers seeking a London base. However, viewers expressed scepticism on social media platforms, questioning the practicality of such an expensive property potentially serving as a secondary residence.
One viewer commented, "Who's going to spend £80M on a property that's going to be left empty most of the time?" Another added, "It would cost a fortune just to keep the apartment clean."
Despite the public's astonishment, properties of this calibre often attract ultra-high-net-worth individuals looking for exclusive investments in prime locations. The Knightsbridge area remains one of London's most sought-after addresses, known for its proximity to luxury shopping, fine dining, and cultural landmarks.
