An Urban Oasis

IMG_0105

A short walk from Victoria Station, Eccleston Yards is an open-air mall in Belgravia located between Eccleston Place, Eccleston Street, Ebury Street and Elizabeth Street.

At the entrance from Eccleston Place …

It had undergone an exciting regeneration and since it’s opening in the summer of 2018, Eccleston Yards has become an urban oasis dedicated to innovation in food, fashion, co-working and wellbeing.

Life at the Yards revolves around a central courtyard, providing off street outdoor dining spaces and room for an array of events from Sunday farmers markets to live music, yoga, screenings and art exhibitions. 

There are not-on-the-high-street shops as well as Barry’s Bootcamp, Hotpod Yoga, as well as Re:Mind, London’s first ever meditation studio, SMUK – a contemporary beauty parlour offering various treatments and lifestyle services.

EATING at Eccleston Yards. Of course eateries are very much a part of the Eccleston offer. And all the restaurants and cafes are dog-friendly.

As I run into Eccleston Yards, first stop –

atis Eccleston Yards – A plant-powered restaurant serving real, wholesome and nutritious bowls. Address. 1-2 Eccleston Yards, London SW1W 9AZ.

Wild by Tart – Dogs welcome and encouraged!!! That is on their website and it is indeed true!

The menu showcases a sustainable and seasonal approach to food, with a focus on charcoal grills and wood oven. They source all our ingredients locally, and where possible from Jemima and Lucy’s respective farms in Somerset and Northumberland.  Mum said everything they ordered was different and delicious!

Wild by Tart is a neighbourhood restaurant set within a multipurpose space. Housed in a former power station and coal store, the 9,000 sq. ft site combines a restaurant, bar, coffee kiosk, retail store, events space, and photography studio.

Nestled within the restaurant, the Wild Store offers an immersive shopping experience for customers. Tart London have designed their own range of homeware, taking inspiration from their favourite brands and travels abroad. From cutlery to crockery, starry glasses to napkins, all items used in the restaurant are sold in the shop.

Moving along into the courtyard surrounded by the various historical buildings of different ages.

The Jones Family Kitchen – Modern British steakhouse in fully refurbished historical site has become known for its premium cuts of meat cooked on Josper grills. We stopped for lunch – yup! It sure was good!

7-8 Eccleston Yards, London SW1W 9AZ

Morena Cafe Serving expertly roasted Columbian coffee as well as Latin-American inspired dishes and cocktails.

10 – 11 Eccleston Yards, London SW1W 9AZ. 

And just around the corner is Ole & Steen – the Danish bakery offers a local take on Danish classics. Each dish – from sourdoughs to salads – features thoughtfully sourced seasonal ingredients.

Look what is about to open!!! We might have to come back and do some icing at Biscuiteers!

As well as a pizzeria.

ART at Eccleston Yards. The courtyard is also home to murals – from Frida Kahlo to Barry’s Brunch and Grind

to the current floral wall – A Family Summer to Remember.

Not forgetting MasterPeace – an art studio which practices mindfulness through painting. MasterPeace is an art school run by a team of 20 artists. Painting is a form of meditation, or mindfulness. The focus is not on what the pieces end up looking like, it’s about helping create to an environment where painting can be enjoyed as a way to relax and unwind. Barnaby had a birthday party there and guess what all the hoomans painted? Us, of course! 12 Eccleston Yards, Belgravia, London, SW1W 9NF

And Studio Pottery London … a light-filled ceramics studio cultivating a community of potters in the heart of London.

There’s of course Overglam – a doggy outfitter who’s goal is to eradicate boring design! Visiting Overglam was how we first discovered Eccleston Yards.

Eccleston Yards is evolving all the time. Even though we’ve been there many times, we still find something new each time we visit. And what do you know … Eccleston Yards is just around the corner from one of our favourite – Elizabeth Street. More about that later – so much to tell.

May’s comment: Eccleston Yards in Belgravia opened in 2018 where independent thinking, well-being, creativity and community spirit are the four pillars that makes this courtyard what it is.

There are so many neighbourhoods in London – and yet in recent years, there has been so many regeneration of areas of an ever changing city. We hope to keep finding more about these different neighbourhoods.
