What it's famous for
Belgravia was largely developed in the 1820s and 1840s by the Grosvenor Estate and architect Thomas Cubitt, who created the iconic white stucco streets and grand garden squares including Eaton Square and Belgrave Square. The area has long been associated with aristocracy, diplomacy and wealth — Belgrave Square itself is home to numerous foreign embassies. Nearby Sloane Square links Belgravia to the King's Road in Chelsea, while the world-famous department store Peter Jones anchors the square. The neighbourhood also borders the grounds of Buckingham Palace, making it one of the few London districts within walking distance of a royal palace.
