Pimlico’s grid of white stucco terraces and garden squares, Warwick Square, Eccleston Square and St George’s Square among them, was laid out by Thomas Cubitt from 1843, after he finished neighbouring Belgravia, on land once part of the historic ‘Five Fields’. A flat battery near Dolphin Square, a breakdown on St George’s Drive, or a car in the Georgian garden-square grid all need a driver who knows the layout, which is exactly what car recovery in Pimlico SW1V gets from CityGrip.

Local coverage across Pimlico
We cover the whole of SW1V: Pimlico, Warwick Square, Dolphin Square, St George’s Drive, Belgrave Road border. Whether you are on a red route, in a loading bay, a residents’ bay or a multi-storey car park, we can reach you and get the vehicle moving, the battery started, or the car safely recovered, working around the area’s access restrictions rather than getting caught out by them.
Our drivers know the key Pimlico routes: Belgrave Road and St George’s Drive, the two principal streets of Thomas Cubitt’s original grid, and Lupus Street towards Dolphin Square. Cubitt began developing Pimlico’s grid of wide streets and garden squares in 1843, after finishing Belgravia, laying out Warwick Square, Eccleston Square and St George’s Square with grand terraces around each, a pattern that still shapes how traffic moves through the area today.
Pimlico’s land was once part of the ‘Five Fields’, inherited by the twelve-year-old heiress Mary Davies in 1666 and eventually developed by Thomas Cubitt from 1843 into the grid of white stucco terraces and garden squares that still defines the area. In the mid-1930s a second wave of building added Dolphin Square, a self-contained development of 1,250 flats completed in 1937 and popular with MPs and civil servants ever since, sitting apart from Cubitt’s original Georgian-style grid. Car recovery in Pimlico SW1V works both the older garden-square grid and the very different Dolphin Square development.

What to do if you break down in Pimlico
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
