Back to my ongoing search for interesting London alleyways. This is a newly redeveloped area called Eccleston Yards, very near to Victoria Station, and something I just stumbled onto as I was walking from Victoria Station down to Battersea Power Station one day a few months back. It consists of a number of small businesses, a 'co-working and creative hub', and a pleasant courtyard with a couple of eating establishments off of it.
It's got a bit of history to it. This from Wikipedia:
"Eccleston Yards was previously the location of Eccleston Place Power Station, owned by Westminster Electric Supply Corporation Ltd. whom supplied electricity to the Mayfair & Belgravia area for the first time in 1891."
Nice to see a historic location like this get a facelift and make it relevant in the 21st century. It's also got a cracking alleyway!
