Drink cider at Chimes of Pimlico

Pimlico is an interesting corner of the capital which sometimes seems of another age, full of little town house hotels and independent shops. It was a welcome surprise, therefore, when the opportunity arose to drop into one local anomaly last week, and enjoy half an English cider at Chimes of Pimlico, a quaint wood-panelled English restaurant and bar which specialises in hand-pulled half-pints of still cider and steadfastly refuses to serve beer.


Chimes was established in 1983 and has not much has changed since then, with daily opening hours still fixed at lunch & supper (12 - 3pm and 5.30 - 10.15pm.), and though your author has never dined here the reviews seem strong and the food seems fairly reasonable considering the central London location.
