The Eccleston Square Hotel sets its butlers loose on Belgravia

The scene on Pimlico Green

Pimlico Farmers' Market. Not the kind of place you expect to see men all dolled up in butler suits, despite it taking place on Pimlico Green, which is nearer Belgravia than Pimlico. Anyway, when I spied these two, en route to buy my fruit and veg for the week, I wondered at first whether they'd been let loose from one of the posh houses in Eaton Square, a couple of blocks away. (The man on the bike was obviously as thrown as I was.)

Then one of them thrust a flyer into my hand and I realised that, no, they were from the Eccleston Square Hotel, at the market to pimp the new hotel's new brunch.

The flyer promised not just an "American Brunch", but also 15 per cent off with said flyer. Perfect, seeing as I'd just moved back to London from the States (so am used to American-sized portions, still), and was skint.




Plus, the two of them looked so delightful in their little butler garb, that I had to check it out. Props to the Eccleston Square for sniffing out what's probably the only community event around Belgravia/Pimlico.

Report on the brunch coming soon.
