Belgrave Square
Belgrave Square is a 19th‑century garden square in London's Belgravia, laid out with uniform stucco terraces around a private communal two‑hectare garden. The terraces were built to a Cubitt/Basevi scheme in the 1820s–1830s and are complemented by detached corner mansions and wrought‑iron railings. Many of the houses have long served as diplomatic residences and institutions.
