Welcome to London x London’s Pimlico Guide: your guide to the best bars, restaurants and things to do in this Central London neighbourhood.
Pimlico sits in the City of Westminster, between Victoria and the Thames, bordering Belgravia to the north and facing Vauxhall across the river.
With its rows of listed Regency terraces and hushed garden squares, Pimlico has quietly held onto a reputation as one of London’s most refined addresses.
Overlooked by most visitors in favour of its noisier neighbours, this is one of the calmest corners of central London.
