Being located on a street famous for its tailoring, it's fitting this home is so smartly curated and most importantly, comfortable. Just like a good suit the home has been impeccably finished. A two-tone linen corner sofa and honey-coloured oak flooring are a couple of the features that caught our eye. The large, private rooftop is a real boon and rarity in such a central location.

Home truths
While there's AC in the master bedroom it's not in any other rooms.
The kitchen is for cooking rather than socialising.
The lift is only big enough for two people at a time.
There’s a private member’s club in the same building – it’s perfectly wholesome but there’ll probably be some noise outside at night.
This property is fitted with a noise detection device – your host politely asks guests to keep the noise down to respect other neighbours in the building.
There's a club in the building that can be rather noisy.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
The sofa is not the most comfortable to lounge and relax on.

About St. James's
Once the London home of the very wealthiest members of the British aristocracy, almost every building lining the streets of St. James’s is a palace – though now most play host to corporate headquarters and grand hotels rather than famous families. Pall Mall is the home of London’s gentleman’s clubs, in whose backrooms the new aristocracy of newspaper editors, CEOs, generals and investment bankers swig brandy and make insider deals....
