Beauchamp Place
Beauchamp Place (pronounced "Beecham Place") is a fashionable shopping street in the Knightsbridge district of London. Previously known as Grove Place until 1885, it has since evolved into a well-known shopping street.
It was once better known for its brothels and lodging houses, but since the Edwardian era, antique shops and high-end fashion boutiques have dominated the street.[1]
Beauchamp Place originally referred to a 16th-century mansion belonging to the Seymour family, whose titles included Viscount Beauchamp. It belonged to Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp, who became the Earl of Hertford and was the son of a Lord Protector of England.[2]
The Italian restaurant San Lorenzo was situated at No. 22 between 1963 and its closure in 2022.[3] It attracted many celebrities and influential people and became closely associated with Diana, Princess of Wales.[4] Paparazzi photographers would regularly wait on Beauchamp Place to photograph the diners.[4]
