In the inter-war years, St James' was the centre of London's Club land, and many of the buildings in the area are still occupied by iconic clubs.  Their building facades provide secret codes about the activities that take place within them.  Sometimes we get the chance to look into the windows of places we may never enter. The whole area is steeped in history and a touch of mythology, and still the lair of the super-rich and a profusion of their movable assets.

First trialled in the City in September 2011 by Rethinking Cities, this autumn brings new routes in the City on a High5 Twilight tour, and in London's West End led by charismatic Look Up London guide, nicknamed Soho Simon.

These walks last between 90 and 120 minutes and will include the intricate facades, unusual views of vertical London, a flavour of London’s skyline, and some quirky things that are all too British. For most of the walk however, your feet will be firmly on the ground!  We will be handing out a field notebook and pencils and other resources, and we encourage you to bring your cameras.  We can lend you binoculars but if you have your own, please bring them.
