Walked this route on a sunny evening as an extension to Batvic 1 (see review) so that we walked, ultimately, from Battersea to Bayswater over about two hours. The end in Kinghtsbridge is easy to then extend to cross Hyde Park and into Bayswater. The route gets more and more glamorous as you go along (see pics. And hope I haven’t muddled up the two routes), and is thus a great deal of fun taking in the Norwegian Embassy, the Office for National Statistics and so on. So lots to see and many opportunities to stop for an upmarket meal (lower end meals don’t really exist in this part of the world).

I walked from Victoria to Knightsbridge.
Lots of poshness on this short urban walk. Try to identify the embassies by their flags. Try to guess how much a pair of shoes in the shop window cost.
But a short stroll with lots of interest. Easy to wheel.

Walked from Knightsbridge to Victoria.

Its a good urban walk through the heart of Belgravia - including Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. Fairly direct, lots of embassies, Bentleys are the car of preference in this area.

I've dropped a star because I would have liked less Knightsbridge in my Knightsbridge walk - get onto the back streets sooner.

I walked this route to Knightsbridge. A solid urban slow ways route, with bits of greenery, active shopping areas, and quiet residential streets. A special plus on this route was passing by several embassy buildings! Easily four stars, a perfectly good connection between these two points.

Report

I walked this from Victoria to Knight's Bridge and it follows along pleasant enough streets, and a square full of embassies. I'm giving it 4 stars because sometimes the car traffic is annoyingly in the way and requires the walkers to wait.
