Belgravia was built in the first half of the 19th century as an exclusive residential area. It is characterised by grand white stucco terraces and grand squares, with beautiful gardens, alas for residents only. The area is now home to many embassies. There are quaint little boutique shopping streets, Elizabeth Street and Motcombe Street. Many any of its eye-wateingly expensive mansions are bought for investment and stand empty. Beautiful Chesterton Square was the home of Margaret Thatcher.

More soon!
