On the south slope of Observatory Hill, Knutsford Terrace is hidden behind the buildings of Kimberley Road.
Before the construction of Knutsford Terrace, the slope consisted of gardens north of Kimberley Road.
The terrace was possibly built in 1895 with a row of sixteen small villas.
Below the terrace were communal gardens with a tennis court on Kimberley Road.
Restaurants on the street offer a variety of national dishes, such as Italian, French, American, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, and Russian.
