Nestled in between Sloane Square, Knightsbridge and Chelsea sits the district of Belgravia in London SW1. Surrounded by some of London’s most notable landmarks and flanked by a surprising array of green spaces, this is an area that is ever popular amongst businesses and visitors alike. Join us as we take a tour of this much sought-after London enclave, and look at why office space Belgravia wide is proving such a draw.
Belgravia is one of the most affluent areas of London, punctuated by high end hotels, fine dining restaurants, upmarket cafés, trendy galleries, international embassies and stylish retail outlets. It is also known for its attractive parks and garden squares, including the well-known Belgrave Square which boasts some of the most stunning architecture in London.
Served by a variety of transport links, including Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner Underground Stations on the Piccadilly Line, Victoria on the Victoria, District and Circle lines, and the Gatwick Express and Mainline Rail, as well as Victoria Coach Station, Belgravia is very well connected. And this is one of the reasons why office space in Belgravia is held in such high esteem.
Parks and gardens
Working in close proximity to green space has come to be considered a major advantage in recent times. A business that can offer its valued people access to places to relax during their breaks is a business that tends to attract and retain great talent.
As well as the leafy Belgrave Square Garden, a beautiful 4.5 acre space first planted by British master builder Thomas Cubitt in 1826, Belgravia boasts a number of tranquil spots, perfect for a lunchtime retreat.
Eaton Square Gardens for example, another Thomas Cubitt masterpiece, is a peaceful retreat of formal lawns, raised beds, water features and pretty pathways. There are plenty of places to grab a coffee and a snack, and there’s even a traditional Punch & Judy show.
Lowndes Square Gardens, a private communal garden for residents of Lowndes Square, are home to fine mature plane trees, pathways, shrubs and plenty of places to sit and rest a while.
Cadogan Place Park is an early 19th century private square garden, covering around 3.5 hectares. The garden features pathways, lawns, shrubberies, mature plane trees, a wild garden with pond, a rose arbour, tennis courts and a children’s play area.
Hyde Park is also close by, providing 350 acres of green space. One of the Royal Parks, this is a place where walkers, joggers, cyclists and open air swimmers converge, whilst those seeking a restful break from work can take respite in the lake view café, or stop to admire the Diana Memorial Fountain.
Buckingham Palace Garden sits on the outskirts of Belgravia, but is only a short walk from its centre. The 39-acre garden is the King's private London garden, and also plays host to a number of royal events. Open to the public during the summer months, the space is described as a ‘walled oasis in the middle of London’, boasting 325 wild-plant species, 30 species of breeding birds, and over 1,000 trees. The lake, dating back to the 19th century, is the park’s central feature, and there is also a wildflower meadow, rose garden and wisteria-clad summer house.
Shopping and stopping
Knightsbridge is one of the most renowned shopping districts of London and just a short stroll from the centre of Belgravia. This is where you’ll find the iconic Harrods department store, as well as the internationally celebrated Harvey Nichols.
Brompton Road is also brimming with notable retail outlets, and Sloane Street is the place to go for luxury and designer goods, from Dior to Chanel.
Eccleston Yards is a leafy courtyard packed with independent shops, fashionable restaurants, creative workshops and wellness hubs. Something of a surprise find for those who aren’t overly familiar with the area, it’s also a real treat for anyone renting or buying office space in Belgravia.
