The Sovereign's Mile
London, United Kingdom
This route explores Saint James’s, one of London’s most concentrated royal landscapes, where court ritual, architecture, and daily city life have shared the same streets for centuries. From Saint James’s Palace and the Queen’s Chapel to Buckingham Palace, Saint James’s Park, Marlborough House, and Lancaster House, it traces the surviving heart of the royal court. The walk shows how Tudor power, later ceremony, and public spectacle shaped the area, while royal and public London still meet here today.
