Knightsbridge is in the heart of the lively and exciting city of London.

The KG Hotel is located on the south side of Hyde Park, where many cultural and sporting events take place throughout the year. Step out of the hotel across the street into London's finest Park, and you can stroll around the Serpentine Lake, taking in the Royal Albert Hall and Princess Diana's Memorial.

Harrods, Harvey Nichols and London's fashionable Sloane Street are walking distance from the front door.

Because of this convenient location travel within the city is comfortable for the experienced or novice traveller.

The Knightsbridge Green Hotel has recently changed hands and is now under Danish ownership, however, the hotel has a tremendous core of loyal staff, many who have clocked up more than a decade of service to its guests. This unusual consistency has enabled the hotel to receive numerous awards over the years and makes for a wonderful atmosphere within the hotel.

Hello,

Scandinavian Kitchen

Conveniently located on 61 Great Titchfield Street, five minutes walk from Oxford Circus, we stock around 500 products – fresh, frozen and dry - including Danish favourites such as leverpostej, remoulade, sild, rugbrod, salt lakrids and koldskaal.

Scandinavian Kitchen is set up by a Dane, Bronte Blomhoj, originally from Høng on Sealand, who’s drawn on her experiences as a Danish expat in Luxembourg, Switzerland and the UK to set up her own little corner of Denmark and Scandinavia right in central London together with her Swedish partner, Jonas Aurell and baby daughter Astrid (three months) – delivering good food with love and lots of ‘hygge’.

LGT, the bank of the Princely House of Liechtenstein, was founded in 1920 as Bank in Liechtenstein and is one of the rare family-owned banks, and one of the very few private banks to receive an official rating. Consistently high ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s underline its credit and trustworthiness. As the only one of 344 asset managers tested, LGT was awarded the rating "summa cum laude" in all four German-speaking countries, i.e. Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Germany and Austria, by the "Handelsblatt" experts.

The aim of private banking at LGT is to devise and implement the best possible tailor-made solution for each client. As a genuine private bank, LGT is the ideal size to do this: it is small enough to provide each client with truly personal attention, yet large enough to reflect a global outlook in its services, products and recommendations. This is what enables the bank to design services that offer the optimal solution to specific needs: from investment advice, through individual wealth management to the family office, in the same way as it does for the Liechtenstein Princely House. To this end, the focus is always on individual care and attention provided by a personal client advisor. Depending on the client's requirements, the advisor can also draw on the expert knowledge within the LGT network to provide a comprehensive spectrum of banking and trust services.

High ratings and awards

Our clients’ trust is undoubtedly the most important evidence of the quality of LGT. Further proof comes in the form of acknowledgement from internationally prestigious rating agencies. LGT is one of the very few private banks to be officially rated. Since 1996, it has consistently received the highest ratings ever awarded to comparable institutions: Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s have given LGT Bank in Liechtenstein Ltd. ratings of AA- and Aa3 respectively. Last but not least, in the latest studies of German-speaking wealth managers the bank of the Princely House of Liechtenstein was once again included in the very select group of leading financial institutions. As the only one of 344 asset managers tested, LGT was awarded the rating "summa cum laude" by the "Elite Report" experts from the German newspaper "Handelsblatt" in all four German-speaking countries, i.e. Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Furthermore, LGT received special praise in the "Elite Report" for the fact that it achieved the highest rankings for the fifth time in succession.

Local presence

Today, LGT is represented at 29 prime locations in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and America. LGT is thus able to provide its clients with a princely service not just at its head office in Vaduz, but also “on their doorstep” so to speak.

About Luckner's

Based in the heart of London’s famous Bermondsey antiques market, Luckner’s is the first Internet auction house in the United Kingdom and was founded by Simon Neubert-Luckner and his wife Gaby. The concept is based on the Danish Internet auction house model but has been modified to meet the demands of the English market.

Luckner’s combines the excellent service and expertise of a traditional auction house with the accessibility of the internet to adapt to a new auction audience. We auction affordable and unique objects to both traditional auction goers and to young collectors.

Luckner’s has standardized and simplified the traditional auction procedure. We are committed to processing items in 5 steps within 24 hours: • valuation • consignment  • cataloguin  • photographing • online

On average, the auction ends two weeks later with the sale of the item. This process, coupled with the physical fluid movement of the object through the auction showroom, provides an efficient and cost effective approach to the auction process.

We are committed to providing a high level of customer service and expertise. By being an online auctioneer, we are able to reach a larger and more diverse audience. There are continuous auctions so buyers can place bids 24hours a day. Seller’s, who bring their items to our showroom, can easily and immediately put any item up for auction, regardless of the category. By eliminating the high-street showroom and glossy catalogue we have: lower operational costs which translate to lower commission rates.

Visit Luckner's at 128 Druid Street, London SE1 2HH or online at
