About The Berkeley
The Berkeley, a Maybourne hotel on Wilton Place, sits between Knightsbridge and Belgravia. It is known for the Blue Bar, for its Prêt-à-Portea afternoon tea with cakes inspired by fashion, and for a rooftop pool. Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner stations are both within walking distance, and the shops of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street are close by. Book ahead for Prêt-à-Portea, which is popular year-round, especially at weekends and during London Fashion Week. Its website lists The Berkeley Bar, afternoon tea, a rooftop pool, a gym and airport transfers.
