The haunt of princes, aristocracy, statesmen and 'The Establishment', St. James's is just south of Piccadilly. Lining the sides of St. James's Street and Pall Mall are the numerous gentlemen's clubs where affairs of state are discussed, alliances made and foreign policy discreetly debated. Sitting in the middle of the area is St. James's Palace, begun by Henry VIII in 1532 and now home to The Prince of Wales and Princes William and Harry. St. James's is also home to some exclusive and historic specialist shops including Berry Bros and Rudd (a fine wine merchant whose cellars are reputedly the largest in London) and James Lock & Son who have been making fine hats for over 300 years. St. James's Park across The Mall provides beautiful vistas of Whitehall.
