Belgravia

Belgravia is one of London’s most prestigious and architecturally significant districts, renowned for its grand stucco-fronted terraces, elegant crescents, and secluded garden squares. Developed primarily in the early 19th century by the Grosvenor family, the area was masterplanned by Thomas Cubitt, whose vision and craftsmanship laid the foundation for much of Belgravia’s distinctive character. The neighbourhood remains an exemplar of Regency and early Victorian architecture, with Grade II and Grade II* listed buildings dominating the streetscape.

Today, Belgravia’s properties are protected by a strict framework of conservation policies. Many homes not only fall within Conservation Areas but they may also require additional oversight from both Westminster City Council and the Grosvenor Estate, who act as stewards of the area's architectural and historical legacy.

We specialise in working with discerning homeowners to sensitively restore and reimagine Belgravia’s period homes. Whether meticulously conserving original features, subtly reconfiguring interiors to suit modern family living, or integrating state-of-the-art technologies behind historic façades, we ensure that every intervention respects the area’s unique heritage.

Our expertise includes securing complex listed building consents, negotiating with the Grosvenor Estate’s design panel, and navigating Westminster’s rigorous planning process. From optimising layouts in Belgravia’s grand townhouses to creatively reconfiguring mews houses tucked behind the main squares, we deliver projects that seamlessly marry architectural integrity with contemporary comfort, delivering projects that feel both timeless and personal.
