SECRETS OF ST JAMES’S WALKING TOUR
Join member and Blue Badge Guide, Mr Jean Paul Guillaume, on our Secrets of St James’s Walking Tour. Home to some of the capital’s grandest houses and palaces – and the Rag of course – there is more to this historic enclave than meets the eye. Members are invited to discover the labyrinth of alleyways that snake their way between the exclusive cigar, hat and fine wine shops that have been supplying Royalty for generations and gaze back in time through their windows with tales of the past.
From antiquated cobblestone courtyards to magnificent palaces, this delightfully exuberant tour celebrates the glorious and occasionally scandalous, past of one of London’s grandest neighbourhoods.
After exploring, Members are welcome to enjoy a two-course lunch or afternoon tea at The Ribbon Bar & Terrace.
