As one of London’s favourite districts, and one of the most sought-after places to live and work in the south west of the capital, St James’s has a lot to offer any business looking for offices to rent or buy. The purpose of this guide is to take you on a tour of the types of offices to let in St James’s, as well as offices to buy, so that you can get a feel for the sort of premises that might soon become home to your business, or form part of your commercial rental portfolio.
Why St James’s?
Dating back to 1694, the exclusive district of St James’s is currently undergoing a decade-long regeneration project and has for some time been considered one of the most appealing places within the capital for businesses to call home.
The district is made up of St James’s Place and St James’s Street and incorporates the well-known Jermyn Street and Pall Mall. All are served by as many as five Tube stations, and St Pancras International is just over 15 minutes away.
This is an area punctuated by fine wine merchants, top class tailors, high end hotels and an array of sophisticated eateries and luxury retail outlets.
Nearby St James’s Park offers more than just a spot of green space, with its 57 acres of spectacular walkways, impressive views and its famous lake and lakeside café.
So, plenty to do, lots to enjoy and excellent accessibility. It’s no wonder St James’s is proving to be an ideal office location. But just what types of offices will you find in this part of London?
St James’s offices – what to expect?
In terms of architecture, the district of St James’s is diverse to say the least. It was branded as one of the ‘oddest built streets in London’ by British author and editor Henry Benjamin Wheatley, and it is easy to see why with its wide variety of property types. Whilst many of the original buildings still stand, many have been altered, some quite substantially. There is one Grade I listed, 13 Grade II listed, and another Grade II* listed.
The diversity in building type stems from the fact that the area was developed during two different periods, across ground belonging to two different owners.
When it comes to St James’s offices, you’ll find that many bear the period façade that is so typical of the area, with its Portland stone and stucco detailing. If you are keen to occupy a building that is traditional and striking in appearance and that delights with period features, but that offers all the modern comforts you would expect from a 21st century office, then you are sure to find exactly what you desire in and around St James’s.
From serviced offices to office/retail units, and from fully fitted and furnished offices to self-contained workspaces, there is much in terms of choice amongst St James’s offices. So, let’s take a look at just what’s on offer in St James’s, Pall Mall and Jermyn Street.
