Fee £14

Meet outside the Shakespeare Pub, 99 Buckingham Palace Rd, London SW1W 0RP - closest station is Victoria. The pub is opposite Lower Grosvenor Gardens and there are plenty of places for coffee and snacks

There are three James Bonds on this walk! (Well actors who've played the part) and just because an area is elegant doesn't mean it hasn't had its shady aspects too........................plenty of shades on this one!

Two disgraced Lords, two ex PMs and one of this country's most famous robberies......plus a whole host of others whose lives were full of grace or who fell from grace.....

The streets of Belgravia and Knightsbridge are beautiful enough in their own right but throw into the mix a Lord who left his house purportedly never to be seen again, a few James Bond links, a daring heist, the richest Englishman in England, a Spanish liberator, Vesuvius Man, the arrest of a famous writer and a very large department store and you have a cocktail of tales to go along with that feast for the eyes.
