Hoopers Court, Knightsbridge
Image: © Chris Wood Taken: 3 May 2025
Hoopers Court in Knightsbridge, London, England. This view is from Basil Street looking towards Brompton Road. The building on the right was part of the original Knightsbridge tube station, closed in the 1930s when the station was converted to use escalators rather than lifts, but partially reused by the 2025 accessible entrance that used the old lift shafts. The ox-blood red tiles on the lower floors are typical of a Leslie Green designed station with subsequent air-rights development above, but I think in this case are modern reproductions. The actual accessible entrance is hidden in the shadows towards the far end of Hoopers Court, with the nearby doors serving a bar.
