[[Dolphin Square]] is a block of private apartments built between 1935 and 1937. At the time of their construction the development was billed as the largest self-contained block of flats in Europe. It is home to many [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Members of Parliament]] (MPs).

[[Churchill Gardens]] is a large housing estate covering the south-west corner of Pimlico. It was developed between 1946 and 1962 to a design by the architects Powell and Moya, replacing docks, industrial works, and several Cubitt terraces damaged in the Blitz.

[[Tate Britain]] is located within the ward of [[Millbank, London, England|Millbank]], but is a short walk from Pimlico Underground station and is regarded as a Pimlico landmark. The district's association with fine art has been reinforced by the [[Chelsea College of Art and Design]]'s recent move to the former [[Royal Army Medical College]] next to the Tate.

[[Pimlico Academy|Pimlico School]], a comprehensive built between 1967 and 1970, was a notable example of [[Brutalist architecture]]. It was demolished in 2010.
