In St James’s, behind the galleries and clubs of the district, The Stafford London is arranged across historic townhouses, a former carriage house and a secluded cobbled courtyard. Its rooms and suites vary from traditional English interiors to the more residential spaces of the Carriage House, using antiques, tailored fabrics and polished timber. The Game Bird serves modern British cooking, while the American Bar layers memorabilia and photographs around a long-established drinking room. Beneath the hotel, an extensive seventeenth-century wine cellar survives from the site’s earlier buildings, reached from the quiet courtyard off St James’s Place.
