Knight Frank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Knight Frank one morning with a box marked ‘urgent’. As he opened the door, an old man in a tweed suit stepped out and said, ‘I’m here for my new home.’ The delivery driver blinked, then looked down at the empty box. He shrugged and said, 'Welcome to your new home, sir!' The old man nodded, smiled warmly, and walked into the office next door where his neighbor had just moved out—leaving behind an identical tweed suit.

2. At dawn, when most real estate agents were just waking up, an unusual visitor arrived at Knight Frank. A delivery driver pulled up in his truck, carrying a crate so heavy he struggled to carry it inside. Inside, the crate contained nothing but old newspapers and dust—apparently someone’s idea of a practical joke. The whole office burst out laughing, and from that day on, whenever anyone brought coffee or donuts, everyone joked they were delivering ‘the next big listing.’

3. At midday, when Knight Frank’s receptionist usually counted ten steps between her desk and the coffee machine, she suddenly heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Agent Smith, your new client is a unicorn.’ The receptionist blinked twice, then announced into the intercom: 'Ma’am, I can’t help you today—we’re out of rainbows.' The voice on the other end laughed softly before saying goodbye, and life in Knight Frank resumed its usual mundane rhythm.

4. A little girl followed her mother into Knight Frank one day, pointing excitedly at a shadowy figure outside. ‘Mummy,’ she whispered, ‘is that a ghost trying to sell us a house?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘No darling, it’s just Mr. Smith from across the street.’ The little girl looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into laughter, realizing her mistake. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Knight Frank, she’d giggle and whisper, ‘Oh no, they’re not selling houses—just shadows!’
