If you’re thinking about locating your business in the prime location of Belgravia in London SW1, you won’t be able to overlook the charming Belgrave Square and its lush and leafy Belgrave Square Garden. But when it comes to this delightful area, there’s even more to enjoy. Join us as we take a leisurely stroll around this most exclusive South West London block, pointing out some of the best features this sought after district has to offer.
Belgrave Square began life as a sophisticated residential development two hundred years ago in the 1820s. Brimming with history and boasting prime examples of striking listed architecture, the perfectly symmetrical square is made up of terraced stuccoed residences and detached mansions, all set around the pretty Belgrave Square Garden, a private two-hectare communal garden, listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
The square’s location is one of its greatest selling points. Surrounded by some of London’s most fascinating features, it makes one of the most desirable places to work. So let’s kick off our stroll, heading out from Belgrave Square in the direction of Hyde Park.

Sitting on the border of Hyde Park, Knightsbridge is a pleasant 15-minute amble from Belgrave Square and just five minutes from the park. It’s an upscale area, punctuated by grand Victorian buildings and shady garden squares.
This is where you’ll find the iconic Harrods department store, as well as the renowned Harvey Nichols. Brompton Road is brimming with shops, and Sloane Street is a close rival for Mayfair’s Bond Street when it comes to places to acquire luxury and designer goods, from Dior to Chanel.
The Victoria and Albert Museum in Cromwell Road is around a 10 minute walk from Harrods.

It really is a treasure trove of objects numbering some 2.3 million, and it also plays host to an array of temporary exhibitions.
Staying on Cromwell Road and not far from the V&A you’ll find the Natural History Museum, home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 80 million items. This world-class museum also offers free admission and is open daily. The building is worth a visit if not just to admire its strikingly ornate Victorian terracotta façade.
