Westminster, as photographed by millions of tourists, is Parliament Square, the Abbey and Houses of Parliament. The national centre is part of this book but the main theme is adjacent, which is a quieter, but still fascinating area.
The development of Westminster's hinterland and especially of Pimlico, built on waterlogged terrain, is of particular interest to anyone seeking London's past. The story of this lesser-known area has been skilfully interwoven with the stirring events in the more famous part of Westminster nearby.
