Tate Britain is not exclusively for "traditional British landscapes".
For example, it currently has two exhibitions in the "Art Now" series by
living artists, Michael Fullerton and Enrico David. It also houses the
annual exhibition of works by artists shortlisted for the Turner Prize
(this year from 18 October). So a modern art motif at Pimlico is still
appropriate.

It is certainly not inappropriate, but does nobody know the origin of
the word "Pimlico"? It apparently goes back to at least 1626 and sounds
somewhat exotic, so could it perhaps suggest some other motif?

For most of the 19th century the Millbank Penitentiary stood on what was
later to become Tate & Lyle's art gallery - but I suspect that
tile-designers do not want to commemorate its distinctive octagonal
shape any more than they might want to portray the Tyburn gallows on the
tiles of Marble Arch station.
