Places like St James’s Market.
It’s a slick new development found between Regent Street St James’s and Haymarket – an area which, over the past thousand years or so, has been home to a 12th century leper hospital, an enviable Georgian residential quarter (home to Isaac Newton, Napoleon’s nephew and Aleister Crowley), and a distinguished hub for gentlemen’s tailoring.
Now it’s a small Valhalla comprising the very best of what London has to offer, all in one space. You’ll find luxury offices housed in elegant, hyper-modern architecture, sitting comfortably alongside some of the best boutique shopping in the capital.

And then there’s…
