About Pimlico

Pimlico () is a district in Central London, in the City of Westminster, built as a southern extension to neighbouring Belgravia.

At its heart is a grid of residential streets laid down by the planner Thomas Cubitt, beginning in 1825 and now protected as the Pimlico Conservation Area. The most prestigious are those on the three garden squares: St George's Square, Warwick Square, Eccleston Square, and the wider avenues of Belgrave Road and St. George's Drive. The area has over 350 Grade II–listed buildings and several Grade II* listed churches. At the western edge of Pimlico, on the borders of Chelsea, Pimlico Road has in recent years seen a loss of traditional local retail, replaced by upscale interiors and design stores. Additions have included Dolphin Square, which is pre–Second World War, and the Churchill Gardens and Lillington and Longmoore Gardens estates which are post-War. (All, including Dolphin Square, are now conservation areas in their own right.)
