Few tourists walk down this quite street to the immediate south of Piccadilly. It contains some very interesting shops and restaurants being particularly known for menswear. There is also s very historical cheese merchant as well as some lovely arcades.

6. Beau Brummell Statue

One day during our most recent extended stay in London, we had to been to see Buckingham Palace again. As we made our way back to the St. James’ Park tube station, we made a brief visit to Jermyn Street. This inner London Street is home to a number of distinguished tailors and gentlemen’s outfitters. As we wandered along this street, we came upon this small but smart bronze statue of Beau Brummell. It is located adjacent to the entrance to Piccadilly Arcade. As Brummell was renowned for his sartorial elegance, the placement of this statue in a London street associated with the supply and sale of men’s clothing seems appropriate. This is certainly a handsome statue. It is not a “must-see” object but it is worth taking a quick look, should you find yourself in Jermyn Street or nearby.

10. Canada Memorial

Reviewed By catherines545 - British Columbia, Canada
We had difficulty finding this memorial as is set low off the path and not good signage to direct you - we found it by asking a policeman. Very close to Buckingham Palace and nice tribute to Canada and as Canadians, loved the Maple Leaf symbolism. Only negative is that there is a plaque stating not to climb on the memorial and of course, there were tons of children climbing on this peaceful water feature with their parents close by!!
