Best Things to Do in Belgravia London
- Go Shopping on Elizabeth Street. This road intersects with Ebury Street. Both are main streets in Belgravia and you’ll find the cute flower shop, Moyes. The perfumery Les Senteurs, as well as many luxurious shops here.
- Have Afternoon Tea. This is a quintessential London activity. Some options in the area include Peggy Porschen’s, Biscuiteers, The Lanesbourough, or the Goring.
- Decorate Biscuits at Biscuiteers. This biscuit shop has the cutest biscuits and you can even take a class and make your own!
- Enjoy lunch in the courtyard of Eccleston Yards. There are a lot of delicious food options in this square. One of my favorites is Morena for the beautiful interiors, outdoor seating, and lovely brunch.
- Get a cupcake at Peggy Porschen’s. This cupcake shop is the cutest with a pink facade that is decorated per season. Go for Halloween and you’ll have spooky treats or Christmas for a festive cupcake. It’s always changing and one of my favorite spots in London.
- Admire the greenery at Eaton Square. This road is lined with a beautiful private park and really nice homes.

Belgravia in Bloom is an annual floral festival held in late May to coincide with the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show. You’ll find stunning floral displays and installations throughout the streets, shops, restaurants, and public spaces of Belgravia.
