But that was before the area was transformed in the mid-17th century into one of London’s most desirable districts. Today, its character and style is carefully preserved by owners who include the Crown Estate, The Duke of Westminster and the Rothschild family. Here you will find the Royal Academy, many embassies, traditional British clubs, Claridge’s and The Ritz hotels and, at its heart, Berkeley Square. We can’t promise you’ll hear a nightingale singing, but it remains an oasis of green, tree-shaded calm in the very heart of London.
