Belgravia is a district of west London in the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Noted for its immensely expensive residential properties, it is one of the wealthiest districts in the world. The district lies mostly to the south-west of Buckingham Palace and is a stone throw to Knightsbridge to the north, Grosvenor Place and Buckingham Palace Road to the east, Pimlico Road to the south and Sloane Street to the west.
The area takes its name from one of the Duke of Westminster’s subsidiary titles, Viscount Belgrave. The village of Belgrave is two miles (3 km) from the Grosvenor family’s main country seat of Eaton Hall.
Most of the area was originally owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who had it developed from the 1820s. Thomas Cubitt was the main contractor. Belgravia is characterised by grand terraces of white stucco houses and is focused on Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. It was one of London’s most fashionable residential districts from the beginning and remains so to this day. Fashion design houses have their retail flagship stores and studios within walking distance of the area.
It is a relatively quiet district in the heart of London, contrasting with neighbouring districts, which have far more busy shops, large modern office buildings, hotels, and entertainment venues. Many embassies are located in the area, especially in Belgrave Square.
Although many houses in Belgravia are among the most expensive anywhere in the world many residential properties in Belgravia are owned by ultra-high net worth individuals who have other luxury residences worldwide in exclusive locations.
