A day from the door
Afternoons
Walk to the river and beyond
Tate Britain is twelve minutes on foot, with Westminster, the Royal Parks and Sloane Square all walkable from the door.
Evenings
Unwind before heading out
Corner pubs on Moreton Street, neighbourhood Italians on Wilton Road and the West End a short hop from Victoria.
Getting around
The city, easily reached
Pimlico Underground (Victoria line) is six minutes away; Victoria mainline and the Gatwick Express, ten.
London
A quiet base for the whole city
Pimlico puts you within easy reach of London's best-known districts while keeping the noise outside. Come back to garden-square calm after a day in the capital.
The West End
Theatreland, Soho and Covent Garden are fifteen minutes by Tube or a relaxed twenty-minute taxi across the river.
South Bank & South Kensington
Walk the Thames Path to the South Bank Centre and Borough Market, or head west to the V&A, Natural History Museum and Harrods.
Royal Parks & Westminster
St James's Park, Green Park and Hyde Park are all close; Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace are a stroll away.
Well connected
From Victoria you can be at Gatwick in thirty minutes, Heathrow in forty-five, or on a train to the coast. The Victoria, District and Circle lines open the rest of the city.
