Things to do in Eccleston Yards
11 July 2024 , by Cally SquiresEccleston Yards is Belgravia’s brilliant hidden gem when it comes to everything from health and wellness to food and drink. The best bit? The car-free courtyard is conveniently less than 10 minutes walk from both Victoria train station and Sloane Square tube station, not to mention right on the doorstep of Victoria’s popular coach station - although once inside you feel worlds away from the bustle of London’s bigger neighbourhoods. Keep up to date with our upcoming activities and events.
