"Much of Belgravia's distinctive Georgian architecture owes itself to renowned master builder Thomas Cubitt, who oversaw the construction of many of the elegant stucco-fronted properties we see today."
The view from the tower at Westminster Cathedral is amazing, it's really worth the trip up there.

Sloane Square is definitely the place to go if you're looking for both upmarket boutiques and high street stores in one area.
