Abstract:		 Museum of London Archaeology recorded standing buildings at the Peabody Trust's Pimlico Estate in Peabody Avenue, Westminster, London SW1 prior to selective redevelopment, mainly around the southern end of Peabody Avenue. Recording work focused on two of the estate's tenement blocks: Block X and Block Z. The descriptive recording of these blocks constituted the primary aim of this archaeological exercise, with additional observations made as appropriate to address the larger area of proposed demolition and redevelopment. On-site investigation took place in October 2008. Brief documentary research indicates that construction of the 26 tenement blocks (Blocks A to Z) in Peabody Avenue began in 1874, with Blocks X and Z probably erected in the mid to late 1870s. Comparison of architect HA Darbishire's 1875 plan for the buildings at Pimlico and of Blocks X and Z as originally constructed has brought to light differences, indicating that the design evolved. It is probable that the construction of the 26 blocks in Peabody Avenue proceeded in two consecutive phases, beginning with the first 12 blocks in 1874 and expanding to 26 in 1876 or shortly thereafter. Peabody Avenue was bombed during the Second World War, severely damaging Blocks X and Z and leading to the demolition of the block between them (Block Y). At the time of this repair, or later, the interior of Block X's ground floor was reconfigured and two exterior entrances were added: one on the eastern elevation and one via an add-on block on the south side of the building.
