London's Poshest Square
Eaton Place or Eaton Square is located in London’s Belgravia district. For about 200 years it has known as one of the most expensive and prestigious addresses in London. Eaton Place is with in walking distance of the Belgrave Square Garden, Buckingham Palace, and multiple embassy’s and consulate’s buildings of other countries. It happens to be the largest square in London, and is one of three other squares built by the Grosvenor family back in the 19th century. It has also home to many famous people, the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, the German Ambassador to London, Joachim von Ribbentrop and even Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands in the 1940s. One 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment is this district will cost about 8,950,500 euros which is about 9,733,535 dollars in the Unites States. Eaton Place didn’t have the nicest history when it came to its residents like traitors, murderers and in the 1940’s during World War 2, Eaton Place was home to Nazis and the Nazi propaganda. In the 20th century one of the most infamous murders was committed on the corner of Eaton Square and Lower Belgrave Street. Richard John Bingham who is also known as Lord Lucan ended up murdering his children’s nanny, Sandra Rivett and then viciously attacked his wife, Veronica. Veronica managed to get away while Richard was busy washing the blood off his hands. Eaton Square is definitely an extremely posh neighborhood but like everything is this world, it has skeletons in its closet, with its history of Nazi residents and murders.
