Ebury Street (/ˈiːbəri/) is a street inBelgravia,City of Westminster, London. It runs from aGrosvenor Gardens junction south-westwards to Pimlico Road. It was built mostly in the period 1815 to 1860.
Odd numbers 19 to 231 are on the south-east side; the others, 16 to 230, are opposite. Numbers 2 to 14 have largely been replaced by a renamed terrace of eight houses known asLygon Place, recessed behind a small green.
A local estate, "Eia", is mentioned in theDomesday Book.[1]
The surviving houses 180–188 were called "Fivefields Row" when Mozart stayed there for a very short time in 1764. Cundy St flats on the south-east side are interesting 1950s mid-rise apartments set back from the road, mainly replacing sections damaged by bombing in theLondon Blitz. These are due for demolition. This is wherePrince Charles spent the night withCamilla Parker Bowles just before his wedding to Diana Spencer
22b Ebury Street was built in 1830 as a Baptist church. It was divided into flats in the 20th century.

The street contains a number ofblue plaques to commemorate former residents.

Where Ebury Street meets Pimlico Road is a triangular public paved area with seating and a bronze statue of Mozart (aged 8) byPhilip Jackson. The triangle was known for many years as "Pimlico Green" (and still is by older residents) but was renamed Orange Square due to the local pub nearby being called The Orange, the latter reflecting the localised misnomer of "squares" in two notable instances: a very thin rectangle grid with a main road running through its longer bisection formsEaton Square and Chester Square is likewise more street than green. A minority of houses have been converted to hotels.
Buildings dating from the mid to late 20th century front parts of the street toward either end:Coleshill Flats,Kylestrome House,Kilmuir House (a conversion), andBelgravia Court. Numbers 2 to 14 have largely been replaced by a renamed terrace of eight houses known asLygon Place, recessed behind a small green (see below).
