About this Event
Barbara Wright, qualified City of Westminster and Lamberth Guide, will take you on this walking tour. Hear about how master builder Thomas Cubitt created the Pimlico district. Get under the skin of this remarkable neighbourhood, where Londoners really live, away from the hustle and bustle, and yet only a stone's throw from the country's political centre. Apart from Cubitt's squares and 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 to the present day, and hear about some of the interesting people who have lived here. The walk is circular, passing at the end through the market, and starting and finishing at Cave.
