The Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart produced masterpieces in all the genres of his time and remains one of the most influential figures in classical music. In 1764 the eight-year-old prodigy composed his first symphony at 180 Ebury Street in Belgravia, where he and his family stayed for several weeks.

Mozart, his father Leopold (1719–87) and his elder sister Maria Anna (1751–1829) spent over a year in London from April 1764 on a European grand tour. They moved to Belgravia from lodgings in Soho on 6 August. Ebury Street

– then known under the more bucolic name of Five Fields Row – was chosen as a suitable place for Mozart's father to recover after a minor illness. Dating from the 1720s, number 180 is one of the oldest houses in Belgravia and would have been a semi-rural lodging when Mozart and his family stayed there.
