About

St James's ward occupies a central part of the City of Westminster, bounded by Piccadilly to the north and The Mall to the south. The area is dominated by institutional and commercial buildings, including several historic gentlemen's clubs and the headquarters of major corporations. Its eastern side is defined by the formal, tree-lined expanse of St James's Square, providing a quiet green space amidst the office blocks.

The southern boundary is marked by St James's Park and the ceremonial thoroughfares surrounding Buckingham Palace, including the working royal residence of St James's Palace itself. This lends the ward a distinct character of state affairs and official business. The area's commercial activity is primarily focused on high-end retail and art galleries, particularly along Jermyn Street and Duke Street.
