Belgravia - Sightseeing, London Areas

Belgravia

Situated between Knightsbridge and Chelsea, beautiful Belgravia is the salubrious and wealthy area which houses many of the capital's most eligible figures! Belgrave Square and its surrounding streets is also the location of many embassies. However, there can be few squares that can equal Eaton Square in providing accommodation for no less than three James Bonds!

Like Mayfair, Belgravia is almost entirely owned by the Duke of Westminster, Britain's richest man. Row upon row of glorious period houses and pristine squares make up the majority of the area, but there are also a number of extremely exclusive shops, restaurants and attractive pubs. Sandwiched between many of the grand houses you can find charming cobbled mews containing smaller residences.

Belgravia is, on the whole, fairly quiet and not the sort of place you'd undertake a raucous pub crawl but is a delight to stroll around on a sunny afternoon.
