Tread the streets of St James's and you echo the footsteps of the great and the good, the influencers and dealmakers, the movers and shakers of a corner of London which has accommodated the elite since Restoration times.

Brass plates by the sturdy doors of these imposing high-ceilinged edifices now allude to the present occupants' line of work.
