The Hari opened in 2016 on Chesham Place, in the heart of residential Belgravia, with interiors by designer Tara Bernerd & Partners and a warm, contemporary style. With around 85 rooms and 14 suites, curated artwork, the Italian restaurant il Pampero, The Hari Bar and a retractable-roof Garden Terrace, it is a discreet, design-led base between Chelsea, Kensington and Knightsbridge. This guide covers exactly how to reach it.
01 / LOCATIONWhere exactly is The Hari?
The hotel is at 20 Chesham Place, Belgravia, SW1X 8HQ, on a quiet garden-square street a short walk from Knightsbridge and Sloane Square. It sits in the Congestion Charge zone and the ULEZ, in a leafy residential quarter — so for arrivals, a clean drop where the doorman can meet you is the sensible approach.
02 / THE SETTINGDesign-led Belgravia luxury
The Hari has the feel of a stylish private home, with rich, tactile finishes — marble, smoked glass, velvet — and contemporary art throughout. Dining and social spaces include il Pampero, an acclaimed Italian restaurant, The Hari Bar for cocktails and light lunches, and the all-season Garden Terrace with its retractable roof, plus a 24-hour gym. Whichever brings you here, the point for arrival is the same: it's a hotel of quiet style, so the journey to its door deserves the same composure.
03 / STATIONSNearest stations and getting around
The hotel is well connected in Belgravia:
- Knightsbridge (Piccadilly line, direct from Heathrow) is about a six to eight-minute walk and is closest.
- Hyde Park Corner (Piccadilly line) and Sloane Square (Circle and District lines) are a similar distance.
- Victoria mainline is around a fifteen-minute walk, with buses along Knightsbridge.
The links are good, though the hotel sits on quiet streets a few minutes from each station. It's easy travelling light; far harder with luggage, after a flight, with a change and a walk through Belgravia at the end.
04 / AIRPORTSAirport transfer times to The Hari
The Hari draws guests from around the world. The board below gives realistic door-to-door driving times for a pre-booked private hire car. Treat them as a planning guide; central London traffic has its own ideas.
From Heathrow
London City is the closest airport, to the east. From Heathrow in the west, the Piccadilly line runs to Knightsbridge nearby — convenient, but a long ride with luggage and a walk through Belgravia at the end. A direct Heathrow airport transfer by car removes that, with the driver meeting you in arrivals and bringing you straight to Chesham Place.
From the other airports
London City is closest of all; Gatwick connects by the Gatwick Express to Victoria, a short hop away, while Luton and Stansted sit further out. From each, the rail route ends in a Tube ride and a walk; for a group, or anyone with luggage, one car and one fixed price is the gentler option.
A design-led Belgravia base — the arrival should feel just as composed.
05 / THE EASY WAYArriving in style — train, Tube or private hire?
There's no single right answer. Coming light from elsewhere in town? The Tube to Knightsbridge works well. A pre-booked private hire transfer tends to win when arrival matters most:
- You're arriving with luggage after a flight and would rather be met and driven to the door than change trains.
- You're travelling as a couple or group and would value a saloon, executive car, MPV or larger vehicle together.
- You want a fixed fare known before you travel — no surge, no meter ticking in central traffic.
- Your flight time is uncertain — a tracked driver simply adjusts and waits.
Why this helps at The Hari: the hotel sits on quiet Belgravia streets a few minutes from the nearest station, with no car park and the Congestion Charge in force. A local driver knows the cleanest set-down at Chesham Place where the doorman can meet you.
06 / NEARBYWhat's around The Hari
The Hari sits between Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Chelsea:
- Harrods & Knightsbridge — the famous store and shopping a short walk west.
- Sloane Square & the King's Road — Chelsea's boutiques and restaurants a short walk south.
- Buckingham Palace & Hyde Park — the palace and royal park a short walk or ride away.
- Belgrave Square — the grand garden square around the corner.
