Ebury Square, c. 1906 Ebury Square is Belgravia’s smallest and oldest square, evolving around in 1820, out of Avery Green situated beside Avery Farm. The farm had evolved from the local estate, "Eia" which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the 16th century Ebury Farm covered 430 acres and its farmhouse stood where Victoria coach station is now. The estate was regularly leased by the Crown until James I sold the freehold in 1623. Hugh Audley purchased the manor and it descended in 1666 to his grand-niece Mary Davies. Eleven years later Mary married Sir Thomas Grosvenor of Eaton in Cheshire. While she went mad and he died young, the Grosvenor family profitably developed the land.

Peabody Estate, Pimlico These buildings were completed in 1885. The Peabody Trust estates were designed for the working poor with a high quality of build. This was reflected in the rents which were higher than the average. The buildings of the Trust spread out over late Victorian London. In the new millennium, the Peabody Trust was active again in the street. It commissioned Haworth Tompkins’ architects to build a further 55 new homes for the Peabody Trust housing association, at a cost of £8?million.

The Monster Tea Gardens (1820) The Monster was a name which was probably a corruption of ’monastery’. The Monster was, for many years, the start of a line of horse-drawn buses known as the Monster buses. St Georges Row, where it stood, was largely obliterated in a Luftwaffe raid on 17 April 1941. It became known to the people who lived through it as, simply, ’The Wednesday’. 148 people were killed that night in Pimlico and 564 injured. The Monster Tavern was destroyed.
