Our local guide to Belgravia, London, gives you a snapshot of this largely residential district that covers the best of Chelsea, Kensington, Pimlico and Victoria. In this blog, we take a look at the best things to do in Belgravia, specifically the streets around our iconic London pubs – The Alfred Tennyson, The Thomas Cubitt and The Orange – that call this neighbourhood home. As you’d expect, there are plenty of things to do in Belgravia that suit all tastes.
WHERE TO EAT IN BELGRAVIA
The Alfred Tennyson
Housed in a handsome Georgian townhouse, The Alfred Tennyson is tucked behind the bustling shopping streets of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street, but once you step inside, you could feel a million miles away. Open for lunch and dinner every day, as well as for a traditional Sunday Roast—not to be missed if you’re visiting the UK! Motcomb Street is like a secret, beautiful corner of Belgravia with a mixture of shops and restaurants to explore. With Ottolenghi and Pantechnicon next door, The Alfred Tennyson is just moments from all the glories of Hyde Park.
The Thomas Cubitt
The Thomas Cubitt is a unique Georgian pub located in the heart of Belgravia and just a short walk from Victoria Station and Sloane Square, on possibly one of the most perfect streets in London – well, that’s what we think. Come to The Thomas Cubitt for lunch and stay in this little corner of Belgravia for the day. It’s central London but a quiet corner, away from the hubbub but with some seriously lovely stores literally on the doorstep. A true Belgravia pub with charm.
The Orange
The Orange is a proper neighbourhood destination in a leafy corner of Belgravia. Newly refurbished, our pub and boutique hotel sits at the heart of Pimlico Road’s Design District, with beautiful antique shops, textile shops and designers on the doorstep. Orange Square is the home to Pimlico Farmers’ Market every Saturday; it’s like a village in the heart of central London.
We are perfectly located to get to wherever your plans take you, but with a lovely variety of places to go or stroll past to get the complete London experience. We are only moments away from Sloane Square, The King’s Road and the Saatchi Gallery and just around the corner is Elizabeth Street – a beautiful street with an exceptional row of shops and stores, including our sister pub, The Alfred Tennyson. From Elizabeth Street boutiques to antique dealers on Pimlico Road, it’s the perfect route to and from lunch.
