A northern neighbourhood of Livingston in West Lothian, Knightsridge is situated
1½ miles / 2.5 km north of Almondvale. It represents part of a second phase of development of the New Town between 1971-80 and takes its name from Knightsridge Farm, the lands here having belonged to the Knights Hospitaller or, more formally, the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. Housing comprises terraces of two-storey homes with simple sloping or pitched roofs built by the Livingston Development Corporation for rent. To the southwest is a mix of more traditional single and two-storey houses, again arranged in terraces, together with more recent detached private houses. While a number of the 1088 homes here have been sold under right-to-buy legislation, 511 homes remain as social housing in this area, managed by West Lothian Council. The streets are all 'Ways', taking their names from Scottish surnames, for example Barclay Way, Cameron Way, Davidson Way, Erskine Way, Ferguson Way, Gordon Way, Morrison Way, Nicholson Way, Ogilvie Way and Robertson Way. There is a small shopping centre and Knightsridge Primary School dates from 1973.
