Book with confidence:

Pretty Pimlico has sublime stucco houses and gorgeous garden squares, quiet and quaint churches. It really is an undiscovered part of London which you can explore in detail with us on a fascinating private tour.

Hear about how master builder Thomas Cubitt created the Pimlico district. Get under the skin of this remarkable neighbourhood; where Londoner’s really live, away from the hustle and bustle, and yet only a stone’s throw from the country’s political centre.

As well as Cubitt’s residential squares and neat terraces you will be introduced to some architecturally iconic schemes of the 20th century together with issues in the public housing movement in the UK over time, right up to the present day.

The brilliant and often forgotten post war writer and Observer architecture critic Iain Nairn lived in Pimlico. Hear how he led a campaign about the importance of buildings in shaping society in positive ways.

Your private tour finishes a short walk to Victoria station, at Tachbrook Street market. It’s the perfect place to get your foodie fix at the weekend. There are a wide variety of multicultural food stalls to choose from including Japanese, Turkish, Jordanian, South American-style and more besides.
