Last refurbished in the 1980’s, this potentially ‘best in class’ apartment benefits from unusually large picture windows at the front to take advantage of the superior southerly aspect, and a low front parapet wall, allowing superb views of the expansive Eaton Square communal gardens. Arranged over just one floor, the current accommodation comprises five bedroom suites, two reception rooms, study and a formal dining room, but offers an incoming purchaser the rare opportunity to design a space bespoke to their requirements, subject to gaining the necessary consents. 90 Eaton Square has a large residents’ lift and the added bonus of a large service lift, as well as superbly presented common parts. The north terrace of Eaton Square is home to some of the most exceptional apartments in London. Eaton Square is managed by a dedicated Grosvenor Estate team who patrol the square 24 hours a day. Access to both Eaton Square gardens and tennis courts is solely for the residents. 1 2 9 0 E A T O N S Q U A R E 3 4 9 S 0 I T E T A I T N O G N R S O Q O U M A R E 5 6 9 0 E A T O N S Q U A R E 7 8 9 0 E A T O N S Q U A R E 9 10 9 D 0 R A E W A I T N O G N R S O Q O U M A R E 11 12 9 0 E A T O N S Q U A R E 13 14 9 H 0 A L E L A W T A O Y N S Q U A R E 15 16 9 0 E A T O N S Q U A R E 17 18 9 F 0 L 1172 35.71 O E O A R T O P N TERRACE L A S N Q U A MASTER BEDROOM R BEDROOM 3 DINING ROOM DRAWING ROOM E SITTING ROOM LIFT ENTRANCE HALL SERVICE WINE LIFT CELLAR BEDROOM 2 LAUNDRY STUDY DRESSING ROOM ROOM BEDROOM 4 BEDROOM 5 GROSS INTERNAL AREA 5,750 sq ft / 5.3 sq m 1.

  • Belgravia Area Guide
    Belgravia Area Guide Overview: • London’s Belgravia is known to be one of the most exclusive districts in the world. Developed in a large part by Thomas Cubbitt from the 1820’s under the leadership of the Marquis of Westminster, much of the area is still owned by the family today. Modern Belgravia still houses the Royals, rich and famous but is also known for its bijou village and café culture. • Along Elizabeth, Motcomb and Ebury Streets you can find boutique shops, patisseries, cafes, restaurants and a buzz of activity which has been heavily encouraged and developed by the Grosvenor Estate who are keen to retain a community environment. Did You Know: • Belgravia was home to the famous Lady Astor, the first woman in Britain to hold a seat in parliament and become an MP • The Philip Treacy Fashion house, hat maker to the royals, can be found on Elizabeth Street • James Bond (aka Sean Connery) was once a famous resident on the exclusive Eaton Square which coincidentally is right around the corner from his maker, the writer Ian Fleming’s house on Ebury Street • Frankenstein’s creator, Mary Shelley might have got some inspiration on the streets of Belgravia while living on Chester Square • Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands famously fled from her Dutch Kingdom to escape Nazi invasion and sought sanctuary in the corner of the pretty Chester Square • Another famous resident on the popular Chester Square was our first and unforgettable female prime minister Margaret Thatcher • One of the world’s greatest musicians Mozart lived right in the heart of Belgravia on Ebury Street where he is said to have composed his first symphony • Wilton Crescent in the North of Belgravia was home to Louis Mountbatten, Uncle to Prince Philip and the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma Going out: Where to Eat: • Petrus – Gordon Ramsey’s Michelin starred modern French restaurant with a chefs table and seriously impressive wine list, you can’t go wrong! • The Fine Cheese Company – need we say more.
