What is recorded here
Saint James's Palace stands in the City of Westminster as a castle, not a distant fantasy but a built and kept place. Its rooms and grounds have served people who needed a home, a workplace or a stage for ceremony. The palace still belongs to the city and to memory, waiting for visitors to imagine the lives moved through its doors.
Saint James's Palace is shown as a castle on the public map of City of Westminster. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Originally built in the 16th century as a royal residence, Saint James's Palace has been held by the British monarchy and served as a key royal court and administrative center. It is important as one of the official residences of the sovereign and a historic hub of political and ceremonial activity in London.
