Pimlico Road now and historically:

• Bordering the exclusive borough of Chelsea, Pimlico Road is distinct among its Belgravia shopping district counterparts of Knightsbridge, Brompton Road and Sloane Street. Pimlico Road is a “street of artisans,” where deftly crafted, one-of-a-kind furnishings and antiques are on display in a unique setting among renowned art galleries and trendy restaurants.
• Until very recently, Pimlico Road was the site of the oldest timber yard in London, which was in operation for 175 years.
• While historical accounts vary slightly, Pimlico Road likely is likely named as an homage to brewmaster and tea-garden mogul Ben Pimlico.
• What is now Pimlico Road is a mashing of former sections of the old King’s Road between Chelsea and Westminster.
• A bronze effigy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at age 8, sculpted by Philip Jackson, is erected in Orange Square, where Pimlico Road meets Ebury Street. The Mozart family lived in Belgravia in 1764, and the young composer completed his first symphony here.
