Set on prestigious Eccleston Square in a building designed by Thomas Cubitt in 1855, this beautifully decorated apartment is all set to welcome you into a peaceful, luxurious stay. Period details like the parquet floors and wonderfully large windows combine with elegant Chinoiserie-inspired decor that feel immediately elegant. We love the soft pastel colours in the living room that add to the air of period lavishness and the French doors here that lead out onto a private balcony overlooking the private residents’ garden (to which you have access). Take a seat at the balcony’s table and chairs while enjoying your morning coffee or sip a sundowner here before exploring the many restaurants and pubs along Pimlico Road and Elizabeth Street (both a ten-minute walk away). Evenings call for long soaks in the luxurious marble-framed bathtub, followed by a restful night’s sleep in the stunning bedroom with its designer wallpaper and luxuriously dressed bed. When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you couldn’t be better placed to enjoy some of the city’s finest culture, entertainment and shopping. Buckingham Palace and Chelsea’s King’s Road are both a fifteen-minute walk away, Harrods department store is a twenty-minute stroll, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben are under... twenty-five minutes away on foot and Victoria’s theatres are walkable in five.

About Pimlico
In 1825, master builder Thomas Cubitt was contracted to put together an urban plan for the undeveloped area of Pimlico, having already proved his reputation with his work in nearby Belgravia.
