Eaton Square is a large, private garden for the posh keyholders who live around it. There are tennis courts, a kiddie play area, and lovely spots for sitting amidst the greenery. Occasionally, the hoi polloi like us can get a glimpse into the gardens.

Behind the Georgian terraces in Belgravia is a network of mewses where the horses and carriages were kept and the grooms lived. This cute little corner shop is in Groom's Place.
