Piccadilly, Renting is the lifeblood of the West End, its lights make it one of the focal points of the city … the British use it as a meeting point, and for the Italians when we go to visit we take it as a meeting if someone loses the company …
The name derives from the collars worn by gentlemen of the seventeenth century. The area became the elegant center of London, when Henry VIII built the St.James’ s Palace, this building is Tudor, now behind it, the style facades of the building are inhabited by the most important servant of the crown. In 1952 Elizabeth II held his first official speech as queen foreign ambassadors.

Many famous people have walked the streets of this neighborhood on their way to lunch in their clubs, shopped in stores oldest and most fashionable of the city or visit the various galleries.

We begin our tour starting right from Piccadilly Circus, with the center in the square is the statue of Eros, originally meant an angel of mercy, he subsequently came to represent the Greek god of love. Nel1892 The statue was erected to commemorate the Earl Shaftesbury, meceate Victorian. Today consists of shopping streets, from billboards, which mark the border with the entertainment district, where there are cinemas, theaters, night clubs, restaurants.
Now let Piccadilly behind us and go to Regent Street and then take Jermeen Street, where is the church of St James, where we can see the organ of Christopher Wren who was brought here by the White Hall Palace in 1691. The church is open daily from 8-18.30.

After a brief visit to the church, take the Duke of York Street and we are faced with the St. James’s Square in the center the statue of William III, surrounded by a garden, a mini park.
If you continue on King Street, you are so immersed in the art, because in the street there are major art galleries …
To remain enchanted by the design of some of them …

For those who do, take the Pall Mall, finds himself at the end of the street to admire the St James’s Palace, still home of the court. From here turn left, then go to St James Street, meeting the Spencer Hause, built for the first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Princess of Wales.
Take the St Jeams’s Street, and making a little detour, I find the Ritz hotel, built to remember the style of Paris, with the front column. In the afternoon tea is served in a chic and must be dressed for the occasion, not as I presented myself, as a tourist in jeans and sneakers.

So ends our tour to Piccadilly and St. James …… hope you put a little ‘curiosity and that if you do not miss a visit to London to visit …
