Beauchamp Place

 ( Streets In The Royal Borough Of Kensington And Chelsea ) 

Beauchamp Place (pronounced "Beecham Place") is a fashionable shopping street in the Knightsbridge district of London. Previously known as Grove Place until 1885, it has since evolved into a well-known shopping street.

It was once better known for its brothels and lodging houses, but since the Edwardian era, Antique shop and high-end fashion boutiques have dominated the street.

Beauchamp Place originally referred to a 16th-century mansion belonging to the Seymour family, whose titles included Viscount Beauchamp. It belonged to Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp, who became the Earl of Hertford and was the son of a Lord Protector of England.Melissa Franklin Harkrider, Women, Reform and Community in Early Modern England, p. 47
