Kelly Hoppen’s mum says good riddance – to Knightsbridge
FORMER Dragons’ Den star Kelly Hoppen did not pull her punches on the BBC show for budding entrepreneurs — and it seems her mother, Stephanie, is equally outspoken.
She has just sold her art gallery in Walton Street, Knightsbridge, because she hates its ‘boring’ shops.
‘I’ve finally had enough,’ she tells me. ‘It’s gone terribly downhill. It was a marvellous street for years and everybody wanted to go there.
‘Now, they’re trying to turn it into a high-rent thing with the same shops that you have everywhere, which is so boring. I’ve been there since 1981, for a very long time. I’m delighted to say goodbye to it.’
