Pimlico is a small central London district situated quite literally next door to Belgravia in the City of Westminster and is famed for its wide and leafy tree lined streets and exquisite Georgian parks, highly regarded and well known in architectural circles for its grand garden squares and impressive Regency architecture, and with some 350 Grade II listed buildings in the area Pimlico has been an expanding conservation area since 1967 and is now legally protected and known as the ‘Pimlico Conservation Area’.
Pimlico is one of the best kept secrets of London and has a wealth of Majestic Georgian residences and in recent years has been subject to continuing improvements and modernization with many of the houses now been converted into one, two and three bedroom apartments ideal for singletons, married couples and families to rent short or long term. Indeed, successive waves of re-development and improvement to the infrastructure has given rise to an eclectic and interesting social mix, combining exclusive restaurants and residences, clubs, museums and art galleries as well as a diverse mix of specialist shops and stores creating a neighbourhood more reminiscent of a quieter bygone time.
Pimlico is a short distance from Westminster and as one would expect is a place of great social mobility and prestige, and over recent years much conservation and renovation work has been carried out on many of the properties in the area and is now home to some of the most sought after privately rented town houses and apartments in Central London which are available for short rental periods of one or two months to two years or longer.
Pimlico’s central location and close proximity to Millbank, Westminster and the West End of London in general provides much sought after career and job opportunities. Creating a vibrant and cosmopolitan feel to the area and with surprisingly affordable rental costs for houses and apartments in an area so close to central London, it truly is an desirable location to live and work.
Pimlico is well served by an old and established integrated transport structure connecting with the rest of London, primarily connected by the Victoria, District and Circle lines with both Pimlico station and Victoria station major points on the London Underground system.
Frequent local bus services serve commuters and local travel extremely well and there are also connecting riverboat services which are ideal for commutes through London; combine this with excellent cycle lane facilities and other commuting options Pimlico is ideally and centrally located for working in the City and suburbs.
Pimlico truly is a fine place to live; an oasis of relative calm in the middle of a bustling modern metropolis.
