Grosvenor Gardens House

Belgravia, London SW 1

Location

• In the late 18th century, the area around Victoria gained the mark of desirability and the first major development

produced the main components of the current street plan. The architect who oversaw the redevelopment on the Grosvenor Estate, and designed the street frontages of most of the buildings was Thomas Cundy III.

• In 1867 The Builder reported that the seventh plot on Grosvenor Gardens, allotted to the Belgrave Mansion Company for the erection of Belgrave Mansions (later re-named Grosvenor Gardens House) a mansion house based upon the Continental idea of ‘Hôtel meublés’, was mostly complete.

• According to English heritage- The Queen’s mother was reputedly she was born at her parents' Westminster home **of Belgrave Mansions, Grosvenor Gardens (or in a horse-drawn ambulance on the way to a hospital).
