The district of London known today as Belgravia was developed in the 1820s. Previously it was called the Five Fields and was a rural area between Westminster and the village of Knights-bridge. Hay, herbs and vegetables are said to have been grown here and it was considered a difficult and dangerous area to cross on the journey to the west of London.
