More about St James's

Greater London, England

St James's sits right in the heart of Westminster with a history that feels as thick as the brickwork on Pall Mall. The London Library has been opening its doors to readers since the Victorian era, while the Jack Bell Gallery shows art that might just make you question your own taste. It is easy to spend an afternoon wandering between these places without needing a map or a second cup of tea. The Linnean Society of London hosts talks that could put any dull meeting to shame, and the Burlington House location keeps things lively with exhibitions on everything from natural history to old coins. You can pop into the Society of Antiquaries of London to see treasures that have been looking a bit dusty for centuries. Near Here helps you find what is on without having to ask your neighbour if they know where the next interesting thing is happening.
