The staff were excellent and went over and above on the service. The hotel itself is situated within a hundred and fifty yards of Buckingham Palace and within easy walking distance of Westminster Bridge. This makes it a great place for anyone interested in walking around the central sites in London. I would recommend this hotel when visiting London.

Promote Faraz Khan to front desk or duty manager. His personal service was extraordinary - leaving the front desk to change our room, checking on us each day as my wife was using a cane from a recent injury, and getting us thru the "no hot water" problem.. This was our 3rd stay at St James and we will be back because of Faraz Khan.

Spacious modern room. Very walkable location for first time visitor key landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben. Easy underground access to West End Theater District where we saw shows. Staff provided excellent service. Concierge William went out of his way to help me with a minor crisis when I lost an item on a taxi. He tracked down the cabbie and got my item delivered to me promptly. We would stay here again.
