Rank #10 in Best Patio Heater 2026: 10 UK Models Ranked by What They Actually Heat
Knightsbridge Outdoor Infrared Heater, 1300W, Mesh Grille, Wall or Pole Mount
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Knightsbridge is a die-cast aluminium infrared heater with a mesh grille, a replaceable 1300W RS7 lamp, three metres of pre-wired cable and a UK plug. It can be mounted on a wall or on a pole from 20mm to 60mm, with a minimum height of 1.8 metres, which makes it the natural fit for a parasol pole or a gazebo leg.
Its coverage field is the only one in its group published in square metres: 8 to 10 m². A buyer who used two of them under a 6m by 3m gazebo reports everyone stayed warm on a late September evening, which works out at about nine square metres each — very close to the listing. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing and the reviews on it, not from our own testing.
How those 157 ratings break down
