Top 10 Shopping in St. James's, England

October 24, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Bates Hats

Reviewed By nutchelle1 - Montgomery, United States

We searched online for "flat caps" in London. We "ubered" to it and saw plenty of public transport opportunities when we got there. The shopping area was awesome, almost like stepping back in time. Many of the shops had doorman who welcomed you inside with a smile. The window displays were getting festive for the holidays. Bates Hats on Jermyn Street was a true secret gift.... we were greeted by friendly staff and instantly taken care of. My hubby had some idea of what he was looking for and the salesman helped him find his perfect "look" He measured his big ol' noggin to find the perfect fit. It was a fun day out and all the stores around the "Old Bond Street" area were amazing to pass the time window shopping.

Christie's

Famous Christie's, whose name speaks of extraordinary art and international glamour, opened its doors in 1766 to launch the world's first fine art auction house.

Reviewed By futtock21 - London, United Kingdom

Whilst many of us are still waiting for that elusive timed ticket for a future visit to one of our great London institutions there’s art a plenty on exhibition now at most of London’s Mayfair and St. James’s auction houses. Christie’s in King Street is particularly impressive at the moment with exhibitions in virtually all of its spaces. Upstairs in the grandest rooms 18th and 19th century furniture, clocks and sculptures none more striking than a long row of gold animal heads. Downstairs left mainly British prints and paintings on sale for the Maggie Coles cancer trust. But everywhere else a preview of a vast upcoming online auction called ‘dialogues across the centuries’ featuring European art from the Renaissance to modern day. My favourite room featured mainly British art with huge floor to ceiling works by Joe Tilson and Alan Jones one by the latter occupying an entire end wall.

Berry Bros. & Rudd

Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchant, having traded from the same shop since 1698. Today the company also has offices in Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, a Wine School and an exclusive fine wine and dining venue in London's St James's. We are honoured to hold two Royal Warrants for H.M. The Queen and H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.

I took a taxi to Berry Brothers & Rudd, London’s oldest wine shop. Berry Bros. has been in business since 1698, with two royal warrants, and is still very much a going concern. The old shop in St. James with its rough old floorboards and coke-bottle glass windows is still open, though the shop where you actually buy a bottle is now around the corner, in Pall Mall. They claim to have several million bottles in storage, and that the caves extend for hundreds of feet in all directions. With storage space in London at a premium, many people buy their wine and then store it with the merchant. In some case, customers have died, leaving their wine stocks with Berry Bros — or so the story goes — so that there are bottles of really ancient provenance still in storage.

Wandered into this store on the search for a selection of nice cigars. Luigi met me and talked me though some of the huge selection which is hidden at the rear of the shop in walk-in humidor. Excellent service and expert advice. Many thanks. If I lived nearer I would be a regular.

James J. Fox & Robert Lewis

In business for more than 100 years, this merchant is well-known for selling fine quality aged cigars.

Reviewed By 987chriss987 - Calgary, Canada

If you love cigars and have a fascination with Winston Churchill, James J Fox is a must stop. I always enjoy a visit to the main shop on St James St to pick up a few harder to find Habanos cigars and get sucked in for a longer stay with all the historical items on the walls, the museum room on the lower level and the comfortable smoking room above. I don't know if the prices are competitive for London, but the level of service and information provided to me by the staff always makes for a pleasurable experience and has me looking forward to my next time in.
