You step off a bright‑red bus and the city contracts into a single neighborhood: Pimlico’s broad terraces and quiet squares. The pavement underfoot is the work of Thomas Cubitt — its clean brick facades and regimented terraces feel designed to guide your eye along a line of history. Put your headphones in, start the VoiceMap track, and the street around you begins to speak.
