This nice area can easily hurt your wallet, with the prestigious shops in the Burlington, Prince, Piccadilly and Royal Opera arcades. The luxuous hotel Ritz was built in 1906 and is still one of the best in London. In Pall Mall, some of the well-known private clubs are established since the nineteenth century. Behind Pall Mall, King Street contains lots of art galleries, like Christie's or Saint James's.

In the northern of the area, at the limit with Soho, Piccadilly Circus is a little more popular, with many shops, cinema and theatres.

In the south, between Saint Jame's park and Green Park, Buckingham palace is the official residence of the britannic sovereigns. The palace is wonderful and the gardens are full of rare birds. There's a music living room, a ball room, and many rooms wich compose the private appartements of the Queen. The gallery of paintings and the Queen gallery keep some works of art. You can visit the State appartements in summer.
