Kinnerton Street is a historic and substantial mews street in the heart of Belgravia, ideally positioned between Belgravia and Knightsbridge. Unlike streets that merely adopt a mews appearance, Kinnerton Street is a genuine traditional London mews, originally planned and constructed as a service street for the grand residences surrounding it, including the prestigious homes of Belgrave Square and Wilton Crescent. During the Victorian era, the street formed an essential part of Belgravia’s infrastructure, providing stabling for horses, accommodation for coachmen and domestic staff, and storage for carriages serving the aristocratic households nearby.

Over time, the role of Kinnerton Street evolved alongside changes in London life. As horse-drawn transport declined during the early 20th century and motor vehicles became increasingly common, the former stables and coach houses were adapted into garages, workshops and residential properties. This transformation marked the beginning of the street’s transition from a purely functional service mews into one of Belgravia’s most sought-after residential addresses. The characterful buildings, originally designed for practical use, became increasingly valued for their architectural charm, privacy and exceptional central London location.

Today, Kinnerton Street combines its historic mews heritage with a vibrant village-like atmosphere. Running between Motcomb Street and Knightsbridge, the street offers a unique mix of period homes, restaurants, shops and local businesses while remaining peaceful and residential. It is home to the renowned The Nags Head pub, a traditional and relaxed London tavern, as well as Petrus by Gordon Ramsay, an acclaimed fine dining destination. Hyde Park, Harrods, Knightsbridge Underground Station and Hyde Park Corner are all within easy walking distance, making the street exceptionally well connected.

With approximately 127 residential and commercial properties, Kinnerton Street remains one of Westminster’s larger historic mews streets. Its architectural heritage includes No. 31, incorporating Kinnerton Yard and remodelled in 1980 by Chapman Taylor Partners with distinctive arch-windowed two-storey ranges, and No. 35, formerly associated with John Taylor of Chapman Taylor Partners. The street also has a connection to British cinema history, having featured as a location in Carol Reed’s 1948 film The Fallen Idol.
