England - London - Street sign for Belgravia's Eaton Square

Detail of a City of Westminster sign describing this illustrious address in a wealthy part of London - Eaton Square. A single Doric column is seen lower-right and slightly discoloured paintwork from wet English weather is on the edge of the balcony of an otherwise exclusive and classically-designed street in Belgravia. Eaton Square is one of London's three garden squares built by Thomas Cubitt and the Grosvenor family when they developed the main part of Belgravia from 1826 until 1855. Belgravia attracts actors, politicians, ambassadors, big-budget bankers, traders and Prime Ministers like Neville Chamberlain and Stanley Baldwin at number 93.
