Defined by its four corners — St James’s Palace, The Ritz, Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square — this grand and historic area of central London is best known for its art community and menswear credentials. But as a champion of independent retail in all its guises, it is increasingly finding new favour with those of us who question modern ideas of quality and value.

A place to draw strength for devotees of contemporary illustration
London's oldest royal park
St James’s Church, built to a beautiful design by Sir Christopher Wren to mark this new part of London in 1684, manages to be both a sanctuary of calm and the vibrant centre of the community. Their programme of musical concerts is exceptional, and the churchyard a perfect spot for a lunchtime sandwich from Paxton & Whitfield. For history buffs, the church was the baptismal place on many greats including poet and artist William Blake.
