General view of the white stuccoed properties along Upper Belgrave Street, Belgravia, London, SW1, UK.
"Upper Belgrave Street is a wide one-way residential street graced with a series of very grand and imposing white stuccoed buildings. It stretches from the south east corner of Belgrave Square to the north east corner of Eaton Square. Particularly imposing are Nos 6, 7 and 8. They are very attractive with unrivalled views down the length of Eaton Place. Upper Belgrave Street is an exclusive and highly desired address, home to some of the most expensive properties in the world. It has some very large houses, as large as those in Eaton Square itself. Most of the houses have now been divided into flats and achieve sale prices as high as £3,500 per square foot. Many of the buildings were constructed by Thomas Cubitt in the 1820s and 1830s. No. 13 was built for an illegitimate child of King William IV. Like Belgravia itself, Upper Belgrave Street was named after Belgrave, a village near Chester owned by the Grosvenor family. Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) lived at No 12 in 1880–1. Walter Bagehot (1826–1877), a writer, banker and economist, lived at No 9 at some point." Wikipedia entry
