Lady’s Motcomb Street Party Guide

When I first moved to London I stayed in a hotel in Belgravia for three weeks. Despite not being in the neighborhood for a long time, I fell in love with it. The leafy squares, beautiful architecture, and great shops and restaurants all won me over. Then I moved to Hampstead and didn’t get down to Belgravia very often. But last week I was invited to the annual Motcomb Street Party, and I had a great excuse to return.
