One of London's most exclusive areas, Belgravia enjoys the best of all worlds. It may be situated right at the heart of the capital in SW1, close to some of the UK's most famous tourist attractions, but it's also a quiet and peaceful place that's ideal for escaping the crowds. Its name derives from the French for "beautiful grove", and this is a district where wide roads and elegant squares are lined with fine, classical buildings designed by Thomas Cubitt in the 1800s. Despite the obvious wealth of its residents and the preponderance of embassies, consulates and official buildings, Belgravia still conveys the captivating village charm of its past. There are a wealth of specialist shops to explore, offering everything from couture fashion to antiques, and jewellery to gourmet food, and visitors are only minutes away from Knightsbridge and the shopping meccas of Harrods and Harvey Nichols. From Belgravia, visitors may enjoy a leisurely walk westwards along the Kings Road, past Sloane Square, to Chelsea. St James's Park and Hyde Park are both close by, and Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and the South Bank are easily reached. Bargain-hunters should note that some remarkable charity shops exist in Belgravia.
