Upper Belgrave Street was constructed in the 1840s to connect Belgrave Square with the King’s Road.

It is a wide residential street with grand white stuccoed buildings. A lot of the buildings were constructed by Thomas Cubitt.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson lived in the street in 1880 and 1881. John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan lived at 46 Upper Belgrave Street, and disappeared without trace from there in 1974 after his children’s nanny was found murdered.

Many of the houses have now been divided into flats.
