No, you will find the Manor of Ebury.


Wasn't the area Pimlico before all this Victoriana started?


Pimlico is certainly older than Victoria - it first appeared in the 17th
century for the southern part of the Manor of Ebury (origin uncertain,
but possibly named after a publican and/or a type of beer that he sold).

However, Ebury ("Eia" in the Doomsday Book, later Eye, then Eybury or
Ebury) is the ancient name for the entire area that stretched south from
Oxford Street to the Thames.
