Belgravia is majestic, magnificent and monumentally expensive.
Living in Belgravia
Lying due west of Buckingham Palace, Belgravia is graced by truly grand terraces of white stucco houses, especially around Belgrave Square - probably the largest residential square in London.
Following World War II, some of the larger houses in Belgravia were turned into embassies or charity headquarters but, in recent years, a few of the houses have been reconverted to residential use.
Property in Belgravia also includes elegant mews houses and grand stucco terraced townhouses, made famous in the 1970s by the hit TV series 'Upstairs, Downstairs'.
Flats in Belgravia are in a mix of purpose-built apartment blocks and converted houses with facades that give the impression that the house is still a single residence.
For those wealthy enough to live in Belgravia, there is easy access to everything that London has to offer.
To the west is Knightsbridge, home to the world's leading department stores of Harrods and Harvey Nichols, exquisitely expensive boutiques in Sloane Street and some of the finest restaurants in London.
Due east of Belgravia, along Piccadilly, is London's West End with its abundance of theatres, cinemas, clubs, restaurants and nightlife.
To the south-west of Belgravia is Sloane Square where you will find the Royal Court Theatre, Peter Jones the department store and High Street banks.
One of Belgravia's greatest assets is immediately to the north and doesn't cost a penny. It is Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, 625 acres (250 hectares) of green space complemented by a swathe of water called The Serpentine.
Transport
Knightsbridge tube station is on Belgravia's north-western border and the Piccadilly Line provides a direct link to the terminals at Heathrow Airport.
En route to Heathrow is South Kensington tube station which, apart from the Piccadilly Line, is served by the District and Circle lines with Sloane Square tube station one stop eastwards.
Victoria mainline railway station is south-east of Belgravia and provides a swift service to Gatwick Airport and Brighton.
