  • The Walk

    It all started with a dowry of 100 acres of marshy land. Discover how this developed into hidden squares, grand terraces, desirable mews, flats now worth up to £20 million. An A list of famous people who have lived here including Queen Victoria's mother, authors, politicians, musicians, million and billionaires.

    Of course there is scandal involved, even the site of a famous murder! What was one of the worst places to live has become one of the most desirable, and where Kate Middleton stayed before her marriage to Prince William.

    Belgravia and the surrounding area gives you a sense of stepping back in time. The area has been in the same family since the 17th century, cleverly developed into the most prestigious address in London, with so much history.
