The site now occupied by Belgravia was previously known as The Five Fields, a distinctly lawless piece of swampy countryside notoriously frequented by highwaymen, murderers, ruffians, and duellers since Tudor times.  The Five Field's fortunes marked a turning point when ownership passed into the Grosvenor family upon the opportune marriage of Sir Thomas Grosvenor to heiress Mary Davies in 1677.Fasting forward 150 years in the background of a housing boom following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, their descendant Robert Grosvenor, 1st Marquess of Westminster was granted by an 1826 Act of Parliament to develop the area and appointed architect Thomas Cundy and Master Builder and Developer Thomas Cubitt. Cubitt employed craftsmen directly rather than subcontracting the construction out, a revolutionary and highly risky approach at the time but one which paid off in ensuring the developments under his name were consistently of the highest quality. Cubitt's smart Belgravia townhouses were popular with the nobility from the get-go and were quickly snapped up by fashionable society. A further stamp of propriety was provided courtesy of Queen Victoria who, admiring the quality of Cubitt's work, rented one of his houses nearby at 36 Belgrave Square for her mother the Duchess of Kent.  For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_belgravia-d529018/for-sale_i71677932
