Pimlico - London miniguides

Daughter to old Westminster, Niece to Chelsea, younger Sister to Belgravia and Mayfair and Mother to newer Kensington – that is Pimlico’s architectural kinship.

Pimlico has a little bit of everything ranging from small pied-a-terre apartments to the grandeur of Warwick or Eccleston Square and 5 storey stucco fronted houses – the restaurants are equally varied too in both price and cuisine. It is within walking distance of the hustle and bustle of Chelsea or the West End but yet quietly tucked away in its own enclave. Pimlico has the perfect combination of a central London location, the trappings of modern living but reinforced with all the tradition and elegance that Cubitt had originally envisaged.
