I'm sat in Peter Jones in Knightsbridge...I've come FROM Soho and I need to find a nail bar-but couldn't find one. Pref want an oriental one as they are cheap and incredibly well done. Any ideas as to where I can go now I'm in Knightsbridge? Only have my BB so the internet is wank. Any help muchos appreciated!

Do you mean Peter Jones in Sloane Square? Can't think of a Peter Jones Knightsbridge.

Tbh, think you'd do best to head toward Victoria but can't suggest anything specific.

Fwiw, you might pop into a hair salon (there are some on the King's Road and some at Duke of York shopping area) to see if they have someone on staff that can do your nails, or is there a beauty salon at Peter Jones? Won't necessarily be cheap, but don't think you're going to find cheap in that part of the city.

There's a nail place in Gloucester Arcade (next to the Gloucester Road tube station) which is a couple of stops from Sloane Square or Knightsbridge. Haven't been in though so can't say if it's any good or cheap.

There's Leighton Denny in Harrods' Urban Retreat and Nails Inc in Harvey Nicks. If you walk along Knightbridge towards the tube station you may see a couple of other nail bars on the street.

However, nothing in Knightsbridge is cheap and for an oriental nail bar you're best advised to go back to Soho - but are you looking a manicure or a full set of acryllics?

That area is definitely not the the best place for a cheap oriental nail bar. Most of them are out in the Burbs but you should find one in Soho. I can't think of anything specific thoguh.

Jump on the tube and go to Brixton - every second shop is a nailbar! Only a few stops from Sloane Sq, change at Victoria.
