Belgravia, one of the most exclusive areas of London, was, by the end of the 19th century, home to an army of domestic servants, most of them women and girls. The basement stairs and attic windows of the grand houses are a reminder of when those in service lived at the top but worked at the bottom. Rachel Kolsky, our Blue Badge Guide will, in this presentation, give centre stage to the work and lives of cooks, maids and tweenies, butlers, footmen and chauffeurs, plus a mention of when the upstairs and downstairs worlds merged!
