Knightsbridge history

October 1st, 2008 by | Filed under Knightsbridge.

Knightsbridge got its name from a local bridge across the Westbourne river (near Albert Gate) where two knights fought a duel to the death in the 11th century. In fact, well into the 18th century, it remained a favoured place for duels, and it was also infested with highwaymen.
