Why marry in St James's?
St James's lies between Piccadilly and St James's Park, around St James's Palace, and it has been the quarter of royal London, gentlemen's clubs and fine shops since the seventeenth century. Pall Mall and St James's Street are lined with historic clubs, and Green Park and St James's Park are on its doorstep, with Buckingham Palace at their western end.
The Ritz London, the St James's venue, stands on Piccadilly facing Green Park. Its wedding dinners take place in the private rooms of William Kent House, with rooms and suites in the hotel for the wedding party.
For photographs, the parks and the palace frontages are a few minutes' walk away. Green Park station, on the Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria lines, is beside the hotel.
