General Information
Belgravia was known as Five Fields in the Middle Ages, dangerous to cross at night due to the presence of highwaymen, but attractive during daylight hours. It has more than shaken off its once-unsavoury ties and was developed by the Grosvenor family in the 1800s. The name of the neighbourhood is taken from Belgrave in Cheshire, close to the Grosvenor family’s country seat at Eaton Hall.
Belgravia is one of the most prestigious residential areas in London, characterised by its white Stucco terrace homes and notable, high-society residents. Over the years, it has housed the gentry, politicians, wealthy investors, businessmen and civil servants, as well the occasional creative and literary genius.
Many of the large houses are used for business headquarters and embassies, though there are many residential addresses in the area. Some of the most-expensive homes in the world can be found in Belgravia, along with attractive mews houses and luxury penthouse apartments. There are a high number of foreign investors, which means that many of the exclusive properties sit unoccupied for part of the year.
