Belgravia
Belgravia is a district in West London in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It's got extremely highly-priced properties and it is regarded as among the wealthiest districts in the world. It lies south west of Buckingham Palace. The district gets its name from one of the Duke of Westminster’s subsidiary titles, Viscount Belgrave.
Belgravia’s Grosvenor Estate is still owned by a family property firm, namely the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Group. However, the estate has been compelled to sell a good deal of its freeholds to its tenants, on account of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
The majority of Belgravia had been owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who developed it through the 1820s and onwards. Thomas Cubitt primarily worked on the project. You will find a lot of grand terraces at white stucco homes focused around Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. Many embassies are placed in this location, particularly in Belgrave Square.
Pimlico Road, on the southern side of Belgravia, is well known for its antique shops and high-end furnishings showrooms. One established brand along the road is Arthur Brett. Regardless of these shops, it is a quiet district of London and neighbouring districts are a great deal busier with more shops, offices and hotels.
