Why Move to Belgravia?
There is no getting around the fact that Belgravia is one of the most privileged and affluent areas of London as well as being one of the most exclusive districts in the world.
Covering parts of the areas of both the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, it is a beautiful well-to-do neighbourhood which offers the lucky few who can afford to live here an enviable lifestyle.
Developed in a large part by Thomas Cubbitt, master builder, from the 1820’s under the leadership of the Marquis of Westminster, much of the area of Belgravia is still owned by the family today.
Once upon a time, Belgravia was known as the ‘Five Fields’ during the Tudor Period, back then it was just a series of fields used for grazing, intersected by footpaths, and became a dangerous place due to highwaymen and robberies.
These days it is much safer, and the area is typically characterised by grand terraces of white stucco houses focused on Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. It was one of London’s most fashionable residential districts from its beginnings as it is still today.
Although Belgravia attracts wealthy people from all walks of life, families in particular love the area because it is so secure, beautiful and has a really quaint almost village like feel.
Shopping in Tiffany’s or Cartier, eating out at one of four Michelin starred restaurants, a 5* OFSTED rated primary school, a stunning park and no less than five nearby tube stations make it a real winner.
If that is not enough, wedged between Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, and Victoria Station, it is incredibly conveniently located for travel by tube, overground trains, bus, taxi or bicycle.
Belgravia really is a hub all on its own within London. The amazing location, atmosphere, facilities, and community, as well as its proximity to Central London, make it a prime area to move to if you want (or can afford) to live somewhere very exclusive.
Belgravia Schools & Education
There is a huge choice of very good schools, mostly private, both within the catchment area of Belgravia and the wider borough.

The northern half of Imperial College London’s main South Kensington campus lies within the borough.
There is no doubt that the level of education provision in Belgravia is of the highest order.
