Block Management Knightsbridge
As a specialist Block Management Company we are operating in Knightsbridge.
History of Knightsbridge
The name Knightsbridge has had many alternatives in the years, it was historically known in Saxon and Old English as 'Cnihtebricge' in 1050, that is "bridge of the young men or retainers," from Old English. There is an interesting theory regarding the bridge's use, which is that the bridge may have been used by wealthy residents, the "knights & ladies" rather than the common people, and that the area was used as a meeting ground for local youths – where "knight" was a slang term for "lad".
