Belgravia
London's embassy district
Belgravia is an affluent district in central London, known for its grand white stucco townhouses, embassies, and wealthy residents.
The name often connotes old money, aristocratic elegance, and upper-class British society: a Belgravia address, the Belgravia set.
It can function as shorthand for rarefied English privilege.
