About this event
Discover Pimlico ‘London’s inner-city village’ through the eyes of Ian Nairn Join Open City for a walking tour exploring Pimlico, one of central London’s most architecturally enigmatic and often overlooked districts Pimlico, described by acclaimed architecture critic and former resident Ian Nairn as an ‘inner-city village’ in the 1970s, can often feel confusing, indistinct, and uncharted — a shadow sandwiched in between some of the world’s most famous postcodes. Nairn himself affectionately called it ‘Westminster behind the Abbey’ in his influential 1966 guidebook, Nairn’s London.
