Grosvenor Square

One of the most prestigious addresses in London, a Georgian square built by Sir Richard Grosvenor in 1710. It was then a new neighborhood, Mayfair, with luxury residences for major London families and many aristocrats lived there. Their houses were more like palaces, with generations of the same family living together. The houses were renovated in the eighteenth or nineteenth century to add another floor and electricity. The center had a private garden for residents that is now a public garden. It's where you the U.S. Embassy has been since 1785 and there's a statue of Franklin Roosevelt in the
