Description
This fascinating tour of two of the most loved areas of London, St James' and Mayfair, lasts for 3.5-4 hours. St James' developed around the Royals whereas Mayfair was built for the aristocrats so you follow in the footsteps of both! The centrepiece of St James' is the majestic palace built by Henry VIII and as you wander the streets in the shadow of its great gatehouse, you will pass the gentlemen's clubs, elegant outfitters which have been a mecca to royals and gentlemen alike for centuries and beautiful parks. With Buckingham Palace a stone's throw away around the corner, it is truly Royal London! Walk a little further north and the tour takes you past the luxurious houses, beautiful gardens and exclusive shops of aristocratic Mayfair. We pass retailers with exquisite displays ranging of china, glass and silverware and arrive in Shepherd Market, home to Mayfair's thriving sex industry for centuries.
