Belgravia is the rather coldly beautiful residential part of London bounded by Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Buckingham Palace. It is also the title of a 2016 novel by Julian Fellowes who has now turned it into a six-episode series on BBC First (May 24 – June 28). Belgravia is familiar territory for Fellowes in dealing with the world of stately homes and aristocrats even if, being set in 1815-40, it is a century earlier than Downton Abbey which ran for six series from 2010 to 2015.
