Original vintage London Transport travel poster advertising to visit St. James's Palace including guidance for visitors with some points of interest. Royal London - St. James's Palace. From the days of Henry VIII until Queen Victoria moved to Buckingham Palace, was the London home of successive sovereigns, and ambassadors to this country are still accredited 'to the Court of St. James's'. They say Holbein became architect of this mellow Tudor brick, and certainly the magnificent ceiling of its Henry VIII Chapel displays a master hand. Londoners know its friendly clock and their children love its bearskinned scarlet sentries, and on levee days its Friary Court is a grand spectacle of military display... Londoners look forward to the day when they can welcome Prince Charles to this traditional home of our Prince of Wales. Some guidance for visitors:- Chapels Royal - There are two at St. James's - the Henry VIII Chapel off Ambassadors Court with its magnificent Tudor ceiling and the Queen's Chapel in Marlborough Gate designed by Inigo Jones (1623)for Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria. The choir boys dress in Tudor costume of scarlet and gold. Clarence House - at the west end of the Palace was built by Nash in 1825 and takes its name from the Duke of Clarence who became King William IV. It was the home of the present Queen before her accession and is now the London residence of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. Green Park - is rightly named - it has many fine trees and plenty of grassy shade for weary sightseers. The park was originally laid out by Charles II as the 'little' or 'upper' park of St. James's. The handsome old gates on the Piccadilly side are from the old Devonshire House. Marlborough House - ... Pall Mall - is the high street of London's clubland and was named after the curious croquet game known as 'paille-maille' played by Charles II and now only surviving in Hampstead. It is worth walking along this famous street to Waterloo Place with its interesting statuary and London's most exclusive club - the athenaeum. St. James's Street - leading down from Piccadilly to the gateway of the Palace is a very masculine street occupied by such clubs as White's (originally a chocolate house), Brooks's(with the gambling-room of Charles James Fox), the Devonshire (which was the old Crockford's gaming club), and shops devoted to guns, wine, cigars and fishing tackle. at No. 6 is Lock's the hatters with a beautiful late 18th Century shop -front. ..... How to get there: Piccadilly Line trains to Green Park, District & Circle Line trains to St. James's Park or bus 9, 14, 19, 22, 25, 38, 38A, 96 to St. James's Park.
