Belgravia
Belgravia is a district in West London in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It's got very 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 continues to be owned by a family property business, namely the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Group. However, the estate has been required to sell lots of its freeholds to its tenants, because of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
Most of Belgravia once was owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who created it during the 1820s and onwards. Thomas Cubitt mainly worked on the project. You'll discover numerous grand terraces at white stucco houses focused around Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. A lot of embassies are located 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 furniture showrooms. One established brand along the road is Arthur Brett. Regardless of these shops, it’s a quiet district of London and neighbouring districts are significantly busier with a lot more shops, offices and hotels.
