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.

The huge, old Hauser + Wirth gallery is now filled to the brim with books and curiosities. With a bar against the far-wall serving champagne, an in-house bespoke bookbinder, a stand selling vintage rarities of publishing and a remarkable collection of antiques and oddities — stepping into Maison Assouline has an air of visiting an eccentric collector’s drawing room rather than a publisher’s flagship store.
