The Belgravia Townhouse Is Quintessentially London: a Model of Restraint and Bold Creativity, All at Once The Belgravia Townhouse is quintessentially London: a model of restraint and bold creativity, all at once. The British blend of poise and artistry has been revived and revitalised in London's grandest new residences - The Townhouses at Chelsea Barracks. Heir to the principals and proportions pioneered by Belgravia's famous Georgian terraces on the outside, the inside tell a different story. A modern approach to space, design and luxury caters for the most contemporary of London lifestyles. YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD Chelsea Barracks sits neatly on the southern tip of Belgravia, completing London's most esteemed enclave. Bordering the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to the west, a residence at Chelsea Barracks claims a uniquely privileged position at the core of London's most sought-after neighbourhood. Exceptional even by the majestic standard of London, Belgravia is lined with the most splendid terraces and squares. And while the district is known for its stately magnificence, it also possesses a magnetism that reveals itself as a reward to those who choose to explore its antiquarian, design and culinary riches concealed within the neighbourly streets.

  • Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas
    Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.
