Description

Belgravia and Knightsbridge Through Time explores the transformation of two iconic London districts from rural landscapes to grand urban areas.

The story begins in the 1820s, when Belgravia emerged as a planned estate and Knightsbridge developed into a thriving settlement along the main highway. The proximity to London and the Royal Parks was key to their development, leading to the creation of a classical townscape known as Belgravia.

This book uses photographs to take readers on a journey through the Edwardian era, comparing what the Victorians saw with what we see today. Along the way, it reveals the lifeblood of Edwardian London: carriage-filled streets, grand hotels, and an array of traders and shopkeepers.
