BELGRAVES

“When we decided to take our first steps into international waters, it only seemed natural to find ourselves in London. Belgraves is situated in one of the urban giant’s most affluent neighborhoods, Belgravia, and first opened its doors early this year. Belgraves takes a lush approach to the Thompson aesthetic, synthesizing the city’s unique identity with our brand’s inherently urban/American attitude. One of the interesting things about this project, for me, is that it has taken us full circle: one of Thompson’s initial intentions had been to invoke a somewhat British cultural awareness, and here we were bringing New York to London.”
