Local information

  • The OWO occupies a privileged position on Whitehall, at the eastern edge of St James’s. Strolling its broad pavements is to experience days of old; a throwback to London’s regency grandeur.
  • It is home to some of the city’s most established specialist shops, well-versed in serving royalty, alongside venerable institutions: from Christie’s and the Royal Academy, to innumerable members’ clubs.
  • Today, the old guard is joined by a new generation of restaurants, boutiques, galleries and clubs, from White Cube to the cutting-edge Dover Street Market.
  • This is one of the world’s few great places that remain untouched by generic luxury. It is all the more precious for it.
