Belgravia is a tranquil little paradise, tucked away between the hustle and bustle of its close neighbours, Victoria, Chelsea and Knightsbridge. The area takes its name from one of the Duke of Westminster’s subsidiary titles, Viscount Belgrave, and much of the area was originally owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who had it developed from the 1820s by Thomas Cubitt.
Belgrave Square and Eaton Square are the two main squares, both of which are lined by imposing white stucco terraced houses. Since the Second World War, many of the largest properties have been converted into embassies, charity headquarters and professional institutions, or have been converted into spacious apartments, but there are still a few rare houses available in their entirety.
Belgravia property is particularly popular with wealthy international buyers.
