England - London - Mother ties birthday balloons in Belgravia

A young girl and her mother prepare for the child's birthday party by tying balloons to the railings of their fine house in this exclusive and classically-designed location in Belgravia, London. The pastel-coloured balloons are helium-filled and rise up in a breeze as the girl smiles to herself. 103 Eaton Place faces Eaton Square, 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.
