St James’s

Defined by its four corners — St James’s Palace, The Ritz, Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square — this grand and historic area of central London is best known for its art community and menswear credentials. But as a champion of independent retail in all its guises, it is increasingly finding new favour with those of us who question modern ideas of quality and value.

This vast department store and Piccadilly institution has an entire floor devoted to tea, and an ever-enticing food hall filled with fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and crustacea, delicatessen delicacies, baked goods, pantry provisions, and of course their famous hampers. Make it past the lower floors and Fortnum’s delivers the complete spectrum of luxury goods. Their jewellery department in particular hosts the British Fashion Council’s Rock Vault, an initiative that brings together pieces from the most innovative in the industry. There’s also a champagne bar, two restaurants, ice cream parlour and vault for private dinners. Notoriously, Fortnum’s is also simply known as ‘the grocers to the Queen’.
