St James's Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St James's Street is one of the principal streets in the central London district of St James's. It runs from Piccadilly downhill to St James's Palace and Pall Mall. The main gatehouse of the palace is at the southern end of the road, and in the 17th century Clarendon House faced down the street across Piccadilly, located where Albemarle Street is now situated.
St James's Street contains several of London's best known gentlemen's clubs, such as Brooks's, Fifty and White's, some exclusive shops and various offices. A series of small side streets on its western side lead to some extremely expensive properties overlooking Green Park, including Spencer House and the Royal Over-Seas League at the end of Park Place.
Jermyn Street leads off St James's Street to the east. The nearest tube station is Green Park tube station to the west on Piccadilly.
