The village is also one of the Duke of Westminster's subsidiary titles, Viscount Belgrave. Belgravia in London takes its name from this peerage. Most of the area in the capital was originally owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who had it developed from the 1820s. Belgravia, which is one of the capital's most exclusive areas, is characterised by grand terraces of white stucco houses and remains one of the most expensive districts in London.
