NO.35 Jermyn Street

NO. 35 Jermyn Street (BY CITY WALKS-LONDON)

This walk, taken by London's finest gentlemen, passes through streets full of tailors, tobacconists, and exclusive clubs.

TUBE: Green Park

From the tube station turn toward the unmistakable Ritz Hotel (150 Piccadilly) and stroll under its concrete arches. Turn right on St. James's Street. On the opposite of the road is the unassuming entrance to White's (#37), London's oldest and most exclusive club, open since 1753. Take a left on Ryder Street and another left on Bury Street. Stop in for a cocktail at Quaglino's (#16), restaurateur Terence Conran's stylish subterranean eatery, complete with cigarette girls and piano players. Take a right on Jermyn Street, lined with tailors and shirt shops, including Thomas Pink (#86). On the right-hand side is Taylor of Bond St. (#74), around since 1854 and known for its badger-bristle shaving brushes. At Dunhill's (#48) on the street look into the Piccadilly Arcade, guarded by a bronze statue of the ultimate Jermyn Street man, Beau Brummel, who said, "To be truly elegant, one should not be noticed." On the northeast corner of Jermyn and Duke Streets is the back entrance to Fortnum and Mason (181 Piccadilly), where you can buy the finest jellies and jams in the world. Afternoon tea on the fourth floor is recommended. Past St. James's Church, turn right onto Duke of York Street. Keep right around St. James's Square, passing the private London Library (#14). Exit the square and turn left onto Pall Mall, following it past the statue of of Florence Nightingale. Follow Pall Mall all the way to Trafalgar Square. Ahand of you, high atop a column, is the one-armed gentleman, Lord Nelson, who looks out at the many entrances to the Charing Cross Underground.

The Jermyn Street is for man, is not for woman, I'm not interested on it. Eventually I like Greek Park a lot. People are relax on the grass. it looks like I don't need to consider I have NO MONEY to stay in LONDON.
