Local Information for Pimlico

Close

Located in the London Borough of Westminster is the town of Pimlico. Mainly residential, and famous for its range of hotels Pimlico contains many buildings designed by architect Thomas Cubitt. Speculation surrounds the naming of Pimlico with theories suggesting it is named after the Spanish word for drink or a man who made ale and whose surname was Pimlico. Take a drive around Pimlico in your car and admire the beautiful little hotels dotted here and there.

A famous former resident of Pimlico was artist Richard Dadd. Dadd was believed to be the leading talent in the gang of artists known as ‘The Clique’. Other members included William Powell Frith, Augustus Egg and Henry O’Neill. Dadd was widely believed to have suffered from either schizophrenia or bipolar, and after killing his father in a delusional episode, was sent to a psychiatric hospital. He was allowed to paint and some of his best work was completed while he was here – his work included agonising detail, featuring fairies and creatures of magic and lore.

Another well-known person who lived in Pimlico was Aubrey Vincent Beardsley. He was an artist in the Art Nouveau era and became famous for his drawings of erotica and images dark and perverse. Beardsley’s private life was the source of much speculation with people believing he had an incestuous relationship with his sister who became pregnant and miscarried. Others said that even though he identified with the homosexual set of Oscar Wilde and cohorts Beardsley was ‘secretly’ heterosexual. He died at age 25 of tuberculosis. Take a drive around in your car, and discover the hidden history of Pimlico!

After the war, Biggin Hill became the Officer and Aircrew Selection Centre for the RAF. The RAF station closed in 1992 although the old RAF buildings still remain around the airfield.

The airport was used as the landing place for Sir Leigh Teabing’s private plane in Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code.
Biggin Hill is believed to be the home of many ghosts! This is generally attributed to the fact that it is the home of a World War II airbase.

Local Information for Morden

Morden is a town in the London Borough of Merton approximately 10 miles south west of Central London.

There is evidence of human activity around Morden in pre-historic times when Celtic tribes are known to have had settlements in the Wimbledon area. The first significant development in Morden’s history came with the construction of the Stane Street Roman Road.

Ethelstan, son of Ethelred the Unready left land to the abbey of Christ and St. Peter in his will. This land later became the site of the first Saxon parish church of St Lawrence.

Morden remained a rural settlement throughout the 19th century and the population was clustered around St. Lawrence’s church. Near the church was The George Inn, now modernized, originally a 17th century coaching inn. The other public house in the village at that time was the Crown Inn situated to the north east of the village.

The main industry was agriculture although there was a little industrial activity along the River Wandle where watermills were used to grind tobacco into snuff. The situation remained the same until the opening of Morden Underground Station in 1926. This signaled the opening up of the village for residential development. The town is now a suburban area although there are some excellent parks and playing fields.
