Pimlico's grid of Regency terraces sits low and close to the Thames, and its original drainage reflects that — shallow falls, brick runs and frequent shared connections between houses. Rodents exploit defective drains here more than anywhere else in Westminster. The Churchill Gardens estate to the south brings the separate, more communal pattern of chutes and bin stores.
