I chose this area because it offers a rare blend of central London convenience with a peaceful, village-like atmosphere. Tucked just behind the Tate Britain and steps from the Thames, it's one of the few places in the city where you can enjoy quiet, leafy streets and still be walking distance from iconic landmarks like the Palace of Westminster, Buckingham Palace, and the West End.
What I love most is the sense of communityâPimlico has a calm, residential feel but is surrounded by history, culture, and excellent transport links. You can take a scenic walk along the river, grab a coffee at a local cafĂ©, and still be at your meeting or museum visit in minutes. The mix of classic architecture, friendly local shops, and proximity to places like St James's Park and Victoria make it both charming and incredibly practical.
Having lived in the area since 2012, Iâve had time to discover all its hidden gemsâfrom riverside paths and quiet garden squares to great local pubs and international eateries. Itâs a place that feels like home, and I enjoy sharing it with guests who want an authentic London experience with all the cityâs highlights right on their doorstep.
