Built by the landowning Grosvenor family, and named after Eaton Hall, their Cheshire country house, the history of London’s Eaton Square could not be more English.
In the heart of well-heeled Belgravia, the five-storey Georgian townhouses that look out on six manicured private parks are among Britain’s most desirable addresses. But many residents are not UK taxpayers, and are more likely to be billionaire Russian oligarchs with some having had past relationships with Vladimir Putin.
Eaton Square has been nicknamed Red Square due to the amount of Russian-owned property there.
