Sitting in a quiet cobbled mews in St James’s, Penny Lane is a super-convenient urban nest. It doesn’t have the character or personal touch of a lived-in home, but the incredible central location makes it a great option for any guests looking to stay in this picturesque, luxurious area of London. The neighbourhood boasts luxury shopping, great museums, and ample park space – St James’s Square is right around the corner and Hyde Park is a short walk away. Modern touches like the remote-controlled air conditioning and lighting system add to the home’s comfort factor.

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....
