Belgravia has a rich history dating back to the Tudor Period when it was known as the 'Five Fields' and notorious for being the haunt of highwaymen. The district was transformed in the early 19th century under the guidance of renowned builder Thomas Cubitt, who designed grand terraces centred on Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. Today, these lavish homes stand testimony to Belgravia's past, attracting discerning visitors and notable residents alike.

Situated primarily within the City of Westminster and partly within the borders of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Belgravia is conveniently located near prominent London attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park. Bordered by Knightsbridge, Grosvenor Place, Pimlico Road, and Sloane Street, this upscale district inherits its name from the Cheshire village of Belgrave, a testament to the Grosvenor family's influence in the area.

Though no longer solely occupied by the gentry and aristocracy, Belgravia remains a veritable hub for embassies, charity headquarters and professional institutions. The resurgence of high-net-worth individuals in London has also led to a renewed demand for these exquisite townhouses, driving property prices upwards. Belgravia's unmistakable charm lies in its grand terraces, lush garden squares and prominent addresses – a breathtaking reminder of London's opulence.

When to visit Belgravia

The best time to visit Belgravia for a delightful getaway is during the spring or autumn months when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. From March to September, enjoy leisurely strolls through breathtaking parks and explore nearby attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park.

No matter when you choose to visit, Belgravia offers a luxurious retreat for an unforgettable London experience.
