External Links[edit]

User:Gabbe said: "Don't like external links". This is interesting - I wasn't aware of this Wikipedia convention, but I guess it makes sense, especially given that the external links are present at the bottom of the article. I'll bear it in mind in future. Rayray 28 June 2005 10:59 (UTC)

Query: origin of name Pimlico[edit]

you can settle a longstanding question I have by finding out the origin of the name Pimlico

Copied from article

Better late than never, but I've now added a section on the origins of the name "Pimlico". Hope you come back to read it one day, anonymous. Rayray 11:49, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Call for help with reformatting[edit]

This page could do with some reformatting... Rayray 21:20, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

boundaries[edit]

Are Easton Square, Tate Britain and Chelsea College of Art really in Pimlico? Surely they're the wrong side of Buckingham Palace Road and Vauxhall Bridge Road? --87.82.12.159 14:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing passage[edit]

"Pimlico's most famous building is the Tate Britain on Millbank. Millbank is a ward independent of Pimlico. So the Tate is not on Millbank, it is in Millbank..." (my emphasis). It can't be both on Millbank and not on Millbank! 86.132.139.119 (talk) 18:03, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

connection of the name Pimlico to the Pimlico or Pamlico river in America[edit]

Is there a possibility that the name Pimlico is taken from the Pimlico or Pamlico River in the Eastern Seaboard of North America? 86.180.219.195 (talk) 11:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pimlico has English roots: "Soho...Bengeo (Herts)=Penge-ho, and again in Pimlico (Pen-lac-ho)."[edit]

Anent the word-roots of neighbouring Soho, it reads... "First let me point out that ho (=height) is itself not unknown in the neighbourhood of London, since it occurs in Bengeo (Herts) = Penge-ho, and again in Pimlico (Pen-lac-ho)."
