St. James's occupies a corner of London that feels, in the best possible way, as though it has been doing this for a very long time.

Tucked between Piccadilly, the Mall and Green Park, this is a neighbourhood of private members' clubs, royal warrants, art dealers and some of the most quietly authoritative addresses in the capital.

The streetscape is immaculate, the buildings largely Georgian and Victorian, and the mood is one of calm confidence. Green Park and St. James's Park – two of central London's most attractive open spaces – are both on the doorstep.

St. James's is home to wealth and asset managers, private banks, fine art advisors, legal practices and established financial services firms – businesses that value longevity, reputation and discretion, and find the neighbourhood reflects those values back at them.

Office space here often means working within buildings of considerable architectural character, many upgraded to an interior standard closer to a private members' environment than a conventional workplace.

Client relationships in St. James's are often conducted at least partly over lunch rather than purely across a boardroom table, and the neighbourhood's restaurants and clubs make that a genuinely pleasant proposition.

Green Park station (Jubilee, Victoria and Piccadilly lines) and Piccadilly Circus provide the main transport connections, with Victoria and Charing Cross within comfortable reach for mainline services.
