District map
St James’s BID will help to ensure the district continues to thrive & play a critical role in London’s global success.
The map shows the proposed St James’s Business Improvement District. A list of streets can be found below.
St James’s as an area has existed from the eleventh century and today retains most of its historic grid form, which is elegantly framed by the key thoroughfares of The Mall, Pall Mall, St James’s Street, Piccadilly and Regent Street St James’s, with St James’s Square at its centre. It is adjacent to, but distinct from, the rest of the West End.
A former royal estate, it is the historical heart of London, which is reflected in its handsome architecture, townscape and gardens. St James's retains many of its historical amenities, notably high-quality menswear, art galleries and antique dealerships, which reflect the area’s distinct identity. It has long been the home of royalty, aristocracy, political, industrial and military leaders, artists, visionaries, thinkers and creatives. It is also home to a residential community whose homes are rightly protected in planning policy.
Today, St James’s is designated as a Conservation Area and is a place of historic architecture, including the Tudor St James’s Palace in its south-west corner and St James’s Church on Piccadilly.
St James’s Church has been at the heart of the community since 1684. Generations of Londoners and international visitors have found a connection there, attending services, dinners and concerts.
St James’s is home to three of the four national academies, with leading thinkers shaping the future and contributing to education and insight.
