Car showroom below flats...
By order of me those flats should be worth less then 200k.
And London is just a stupid place anyway.
Off to London, no doubt. Go to London! I guarantee you'll either be mugged or not appreciated. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway.

Surely Number One, London is the top London address. Only descendants of the Duke of Wellington can live there though.

Very bad, hate those two fc ukers immensely after the several years of congestion their construction work has caused, not to mention the absolutely pisspoor architecture on such a prime London site

Just reading these comments it's pathetic, Read jalopnik to see small brained jealous or stupid comments from americanos, you then read the above and realize the British are no better ... But try to think they are with this so called sense of humor .... What crap ...

Who cares what someones pays for their flat or car .... Get a life ... Get living and enjoy yourself rather than bhing about others

And to those jealous uk idiots that scratch peoples cars .... Die of cancer or get run down and live for a week before dying and pure pain ... wkers

The post office is insisting on the adress being 99 Knightsbridge and not One Hyde Park (although that is the name of the development). Post office is refusing to back down.

That's going to seriously piss them off! Where did you hear that?

It was in the Times:

The Sunday Times wrote:
As with all things very expensive, if you have to ask the price, then you can’t afford it. This week, a handful of select individuals — upper-crust, pinstriped buying agents and those of their clients still wealthy enough to spend seven figures on a fourth or fifth home — will be invited to view a show flat in one of the four elongated hexagonal tower blocks opposite Harvey Nichols, in Knightsbridge at One Hyde Park (or 100 Knightsbridge, as Royal Mail insists on calling it). The Candys confirm that prices start at “approximately £5m” but refuse to comment on the price of the four penthouses, one of which reportedly sold for £100m.

ETA 100 Knightsbridge......not 99.

Slightly off topic, I'm extremely proud to say my brother is part of the senior management on this construction project.

Think the candy's are out of the project but agree with you on how the hell can they be allowed to cause the chaos that build is causing. And the new one opposite The Wellington club

Why do they need a showroom in London? I'd rather visit (...and pick up) the car at McLaren HQ...

So the people who live above can just pop downstairs and buy one.

Similar to the way there is often a newsagent at the bottom of tower blocks.
