Pimlico is a small area of central London in the City of Westminster that is primarily residential and well known for its collection of small hotels and impressive Regency architecture.

The area is roughly delimited by Victoria Railway Station to the north and the River Thames to the south spanned by Vauxhall Bridge. At its centre lies the Pimlico 'Grid' a highly desirable residential area bordered by Belgrave Road to the East Westmoreland Terrace to the West Lupus Street to the South and Eccleston Square to the North. The Grid is populated by handsome stucco-fronted late Regency/early Victorian properties. The entire district was formerly owned by the Grosvenor family.

The large majority of the buildings in Pimlico are residential and were designed by the architect/builder Thomas Cubitt. A statue of Cubitt can be seen in the area.

Notable residents have included Sir Winston Churchill Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Laura Ashley Swami Vivekananda Laurence Olivier Jomo Kenyatta Aubrey Beardsley Joseph Conrad Major Walter Clopton Wingfield Michael Howard Richard Dadd and Francis Urquhart (fictional).
