The area
Neighborhood: Belgravia
Home to the vast majority of embassies and diplomatic residences in London, sophisticated and upscale Belgravia also boasts a wealth of luxury hotels, fine dining restaurants, and some of the city’s most stroll worthy lanes. While the prices here are high, taking a leisurely stroll through the streets of picturesque and elegant white stucco houses is free. Hyde Park and the Buckingham Palace Gardens are only a stone's throw away to the north, and some of Europe’s best shopping is nearby as well.
How to get there

Neat ,clean and quiet place to visit. The gardens are not always available to the public except maybe for special days.
Lots of old architecture to admire if you are into that sort of thing. Heritage site well maintained.
Majority of traffic i would imagine is people visiting various embassies for visas/passports etc.
There are a few restaurants and a Waitrose very nearby.

One day while enjoying our most recent stay in London, we were making our way on foot from Knightsbridge to Victoria. In the process, we found ourselves passing through Belgrave Square This square is home to a fenced, private garden which can only be accessed by residents of Belgrave square.
Hence, we just had to make do with scant views of the garden over the fence as we walked around the square.
As this garden is private, we would certainly advise against going out of your way in the hope of seeing it!

This is a very opulent part of Knightsbridge. The area is full of foreign embassies surrounding the square. Some very grand architecture.

Belgrave Square gardens occupy the whole of the middle of the square taking up some 4.5 acres, which, along with its surrounding buildings, was designed by George Basevi although later planted by Thomas Cubitt in 1830. Other than on occasional Heritage Open Days it is closed to the public and is for the exclusive use of Belgrave Square residents. It is surrounded by railings with four gates one of which had today been left open. Unless one is able to remove plane trees or two tennis courts there is nothing here capable of being stolen. Its most memorable gestures are perhaps the statues of famous explorers around its outside edge and thus available for view by members of the public as well as the Belgravia elite or intruders from the inside.

Belgrave Square is one of the the most beautiful and orderly squares in Central London.
Traditionally, a place for the fabulously wealthy to live and it now houses a number of embassies. Well worth walking around the square to get a sense of how the 19th and 20th century rich lived in London. Very close to Buckingham Palace.

Belgrave Square is one of the grandest districts of London. From the beginning of it's construction until the Second World War the square was occupied by the British aristocracy, but nowadays an increasing number of people wealthy. So I'm totally not jealous!
The garden however is a private garden, not open to the general, lower classes. In and around the square is some nice statues of Prince Henry the Navigator, Christopher Columbus, Simón BolÃvar and José de San MartÃn. Around the square is a great many Embassies, especially rich ones who require an expensive address.

The private garden in the middle of the square with posh townhouses all around. We wandered in after a resident but then could not get out because of the locked gates.

So This is a private garden. Unless you are one of the residents around here you can’t go inside. It’s still a Nice area of London though.

This is a private garden for use by residents of Belgrave Square. We chanced upon it on our back back from the Embassy and peeped inside. Tall shady trees, rose covered pergolas and greenery. There is a children's play area and a tennis court. Surrounded by grand houses, this is one of the most fashionable districts of London.
