In the early 19th century Richard Grosvenor, Marquess of Westminster, employed surveyor Thomas Cundy and master builder Thomas Cubitt to transform what was once swampy pasture – a haunt of thieves, highwaymen and duellists – into London’s most fashionable and exclusive district.
Join Sarah Yates, an official City of Westminster Guide, to discover the stories of these elegant streets, squares and crescents and their many famous – and some infamous – residents. We’ll also see some more recent projects and improvements that seek to maintain and enhance Belgravia’s outstanding legacy for future generations.
