About Belgravia

Belgravia is one of London's grandest, most exclusive and most central residential districts, offering a plethora of beautiful boutiques, restaurants, gastro-pubs, delicatessens and antique dealers.

Largely built in the early nineteenth century, its elegant streets and squares have since been carefully maintained by the Duke of Westminster’s private estate, ensuring that the unique charm and beauty of the area is preserved.

History & Location

The Lime Tree is located right in the heart of Belgravia, ideally situated halfway between Victoria and Sloane Square underground stations and just one minute's walk from Victoria Coach Station.

There is a wide range of wonderful shops, restaurants and public houses just moments from the hotel, and many of London’s top tourist attractions are within easy walking distance.

Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Harrods and the museums of South Kensington are all within a mile of our doorstep, while the West End's shops and theatres, the Tower, the London Eye and St Paul's Cathedral are all easily accessible by bus or underground. Our staff are always available to give information on the best transport routes for getting about town.

Ebury Street itself has been home to many notable figures over the years. Mozart was living at number 180 when he composed his very first symphony in 1764; James Bond creator Ian Fleming resided at 22b, while other illustrious tenants have included playwright Noel Coward, novelist George Moore and the great poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Nowadays the area still boasts plenty of glamorous residents: Nigella Lawson, Sean Connery, Baroness Margaret Thatcher, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Roger Moore are just a few of the famous faces that can be spotted around our neighbourhood if you look hard enough...
