Belgravia is regal London dressed in its Sunday best. Classical architecture, white stucco residences, and stone churches characterise the neighborhood’s fashionably restrained streets. Its aristocratic ambiance comes at a high price, but the neighborhood’s secluded gardens and private estates are unmatched. Although its daunting refinement places Belgravia in a class of its own, the neighbourhood remains close to destinations that encourage you to let loose—relax at Chelsea, Pimlico, and Westminster’s taverns and wine bars.
