In Focus – St. James’s Square

Piccadilly Circus underground station, London (exit 4, Eros exit – between the world-famous Eros statue and the Criterion Restaurant canopy)

Guided by Peter G.

Streets Ahead! More trailblazing by the best urban walking tour guides on the planet. In Focus walks are an extremely detailed look – “what I love about London Walks is the degree of granularity you get” (as that American visitor memorably put it) – at the most famous streets and squares of London. And their tributaries. This In Focus walk explores St. James’s Square. Ah, yes St. James’s Square. Where the West End of London was launched. Where D-Day was planned. Where the pungent Major Percy took the news to the Prince Regent (Percy hadn’t slept for a week and when he eventually got out of his bloodied uniform fragments of a man’s brains, those of an officer killed next to him, fell out of his sash). Where David’s “gentleman’s club” is. Where the lady to whom Winston Churchill wasn’t gentlemanly lived. Where the little gentleman in the brown velvet coat lives forever. Where the WPC was shot. Where… Well, the list goes on and on. The St. James’s Square In Focus walk is a natural pair with the St. James’s Street walk. Both of them are guided by actor and star London Walks guide Peter.
