Belgravia
Belgravia is a district in West London in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It's got very costly residential properties and 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 continues to be owned by a family property business, namely the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Group. However, the estate has been made to sell a good deal of its freeholds to its tenants, due to the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
The majority of Belgravia was once owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who created it during the 1820s and onwards. Thomas Cubitt mostly worked on the project. You will find a lot of grand terraces at white stucco homes focused around Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. Quite a few embassies are situated in this area, specifically in Belgrave Square.
Pimlico Road, on the southern side of Belgravia, is well known for its antique shops and high-end furnishings showrooms. 1 established brand along the road is Arthur Brett. In spite of these shops, it’s a quiet district of London and neighbouring districts are significantly busier with more shops, offices and hotels.
