Summary:

"St. James's Square is the only square in the exclusive St James's district of the City of Westminster. It has predominantly Georgian and neo-Georgian architecture and a private garden in the centre. For its first two hundred or so years it was one of the three or four most fashionable residential address in London, and it is now home to the headquarters of a number of well-known businesses, including BP and Rio Tinto Group, as well as the exclusive club - the East India Club. It is also home to The London Library. The square's main feature is an equestrian statue of William III erected in 1808"--Wikipedia
