Belgrave Square is a large 19th-century garden square in London. It is the centrepiece of Belgravia, and its architecture resembles the original scheme of property contractor Thomas Cubitt who engaged George Basevi for all of the terraces for the 2nd Earl Grosvenor, later the 1st Marquess of Westminster, in the 1820s.
Belgrave Square was established in 1825, with George Basevi as architect. It was named after the village of Belgrave in Leicestershire, part of the Grosvenor family estates. Now largely occupied by embassies and other organisations, the grand, stuccoed residences of the square were once home to wealthy families who flocked to live close to Buckingham Palace.
In 1825, Cubitt ‘laid off’ financial responsibility for the initial Belgrave Square build-out to a syndicate of well-connected backers that included a director of the Bank of England. Cubitt moved his office continuously as the development progressed, and he moved fluidly between roles, for example acting as an estate agent when opportune.
