Belgravia
Belgravia is a district in West London within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It offers extremely costly properties and it is known to be among the wealthiest districts in the world. It lies south west of Buckingham Palace. The area gets its name from one of the Duke of Westminster’s subsidiary titles, Viscount Belgrave.
Belgravia’s Grosvenor Estate continues to be owned by a family property firm, namely the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Group. However, the estate has been forced to sell lots of its freeholds to its tenants, because of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
Most of Belgravia had been owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who created it during the 1820s and onwards. Thomas Cubitt mainly worked on the project. You will find a lot of grand terraces at white stucco homes focused around Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. A lot of embassies are placed within this location, specifically in Belgrave Square.
Pimlico Road, on the southern side of Belgravia, is well-known for its antique shops and high-end furniture showrooms. One established brand along the road is Arthur Brett. Despite these shops, it is a quiet district of London and neighbouring districts are a great deal busier with a lot more shops, offices and hotels.
