To search for a nice place to rent for long time and to find one is not as easy as it sounds. Though there are many properties in the British capital, probably few will catch your attention and even less will be affordable and good to get. However when you are circling around and looking for the ideal flat or house, you will learn some very useful things about the neighborhood, you have chosen to move to. In case this is the London district of Knightsbridge, here is what to except from the area in brief.

  The name of the region comes from a road passing in this part of the capital and going along the south side of the famous Hyde Park. According to the official plans of the city, the area is not only one of the most expensive spots to live, it is also claimed to be “international center” of the city, or at least one of them.

  Newcomers can judge for the high standard of life of the residents from the many upmarket retail outlets that can be seen in the zone. The fact that they are existing and even increasing their number can tell that there are still enough people who can afford to shop their. The economy of the area is also based on purchase and on the functioning of these world famous and most expensive brands in the fashion industry. You can think that these are only word, but names like Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik will convince you in the opposite. The two Prada stores also located in the area will send any hesitation away that this is a small fashion capital.

   However before you rush to the boutiques to buy nice expensive stuff, you need to move and to be sure that you have all your stuff safely transported. The packing is fully your responsibility. It is up to you to decide whether to do things alone or to call the moving company and ask for help. Even if you have not done any packing before you can successfully manage with lighter things like clothes and linens. You can even use them to protect the more fragile things in the luggage to be transported. This can be done as you roll a blanket or a piece of cotton clothes around something made of glass for example. And do not forget to tuck something inside incase it is empty inside.

  The safest way to pack electronics is as you use their original package. In case you do not have it, wrap the things in as many bubble wrap as you can get, before putting it in the cardboard box.

   For the dishes and glass cups from the kitchen it is mandatory to use special separators. If you let any of them rub into each other during the relocation, it is one hundred percent sure, that you will discover losses when it comes the times to unpack. Use a paper or a piece of cardboard between any two glasses or dishes. Even the newspaper will be better than nothing.

  For everything that does not look safe enough, ask for the help of the moving company. They will provide with customized boxes and other materials for objects with irregular shape, for heavy and fragile furniture and electronics. If you have done the easy packing yourself, you will have enough of your planned budget left to afford this and to make thing happen successfully.
