Knightsbridge residents hit out at plans for museum opposite Harrods over advertising

Residents in Knightsbridge have expressed objections to plans for an illusions museum called The Paradox Museum, which is proposed to be located opposite Harrods.

They are concerned about backlit signs in the museum's windows that could detract from the character of the area, especially the listed Harrods building. The residents have also requested a cap on the number of attendees at any one time, citing concerns about noise and disruption.

While some officials recommend approval for the plans, they suggest that concerns about signage will be addressed separately through an application for advertisement consent. The museum could attract up to 1,200 visitors a day if approved.
