Why is it called Pimlico?
Victoria
Where the name comes from
Traditionally named after Ben Pimlico, a publican known for nut-brown ale, whose tea-gardens were near Hoxton. The origin is disputed; the name replaced Ebury or "The Five Fields" in the late 17th or early 18th century.
Worth knowing: Its platforms are decorated with op art yellow spots by Peter Sedgley.
