ABOUT
Jermyn Street London
Originally a strictly residential area, Mayfair’s Jermyn Street is one of the most refined shopping streets in the West End. Just a few minute’s walk from Savile Row, the two are harmonious, with this street providing the shirtmakers with the other’s bespoke suits.
The street is named after Henry Jermyn, an Earl and Ambassador to Paris and The Hague in the 17th century. He was tasked with transforming St James’ field, then undeveloped land owned by King Charles II, into housing. The area, now known as King Street, Charles Street, Duke Street, and York Street, became a popular and thriving area and helped to make the West End of London what it is today. Jermyn would sadly not live to see the adjoining street named after him, despite laying the surrounding foundations for it.
Before becoming the retail destination it is today, famous names to have lived at the address include Sir Isaac Newton, politician William Pitt and satirical writer W.M. Thackray. The modern-day street you’ll see features a typically London-like mix of architectural styles resulting from changes and developments over the years, from original 17th-century buildings to the Regency style that dominates the neighbourhood and modern shop fronts. While the street is renowned for its bespoke menswear, other businesses include restaurants, cafes, art galleries, and the famous Fortnum & Mason department store.
A tribute to London’s most heralded male style icon, Beau Brummell, can be found on the street. A statue depicting the ‘original dandy’ lies at the west end of the street, signifying Brummell’s impact on the world of fashion and Jermyn Street’s association with dressing the most dapper men.
Set back just one street behind Piccadilly, the street is just moments from the hustle and bustle of some of London’s most visited areas, and yet, it’s noticeably quieter. The perfect spot for a relaxed day of shopping and exploring this historic neighbourhood.
FAQ
FAQ
What is Jermyn Street most famous for?
Jermyn Street, in the St James’s district of the West End, is an epicentre of fine attire for gentleman. In particular, it’s famous for its shirtmakers; ideal for men who have just purchased a bespoke suit in nearby Savile Row. However, it is also home to its own tailors, shoemakers and purveyors of quality goods every refined gentleman should own. As a mark of the street’s association with gentlemen’s dress, a statue of original dandy Beau Brummel was erected on it in 2002. Jermyn Street has also been home to some famous names too, including Isaac Newton and W. M. Thackeray.
Can I buy handmade shoes on Jermyn Street?
Jermyn Street is one of the best places in London to buy handmade shoes. The street has long been home to some of the UK’s most traditional specialists in the trade including John Lobb bootmakers, Crockett & Jones, Foster & Son, Church’s, Loake, and Tricker’s. The oldest shoemaker on the street is Tricker’s, which was founded in 1829.
If you’re lucky you may even see some shoes being made on-site at a store, although many have their workshops in the UK’s hub of quality shoe manufacturing, Northampton. While a classic pair of Oxford or Derby shoes made here will cost a fair penny, many of the cordwainers offer repair services to ensure they’ll last you a lifetime.
What is the oldest shop on Jermyn Street?
Parfumiers Floris has occupied the same shop unit on Jermyn Street since 1730. Masters of fine fragrance, the company remains family-run and dedicated to the most exceptional ingredients blended in the UK. Over the centuries, Floris has held several royal warrants including two current ones to the Queen and the Prince of Wales.
The shop itself has an olde-worlde feel to it and contains original cabinets that were purchased at the Great Exhibition in 1851 and a museum at the back where customers can browse historic artefacts from the brand’s longstanding history.
What are the best places for dining on Jermyn Street?
As a street renowned for the finer things in life, you can expect exceptional dining experiences too.

Widely regarded as one of the best steak restaurants in London, Rowley’s opened in 1976 and has received continuous rave reviews. Getti offers classic Italian dishes from established London restaurateur Stefano Fraquelli, while Franco’s serves up their Italian with jazz music on Saturday evenings.
By far the most famous institution to dine at is Fortnum & Mason who serve up one of London’s best afternoon teas in their Jubilee tea salon. While the historic department store has been serving tea since the 1920s, the salon was opened by the Queen herself in 2012 to mark her 60 years on the throne and is one of the most luxurious afternoon tea experiences.
Is Jermyn Street in the St James’s district?
Yes, Jermyn Street sits in the small, but distinctive, area of the West End known as St James’s. The area runs between The Mall to the south, Green Park to the west, Piccadilly to the north, and Haymarket to the east. The area is named after St James’s Palace which sits within the district and is known for heritage businesses devoted to exceptional quality. It was originally developed in the 17th century as a residential area for aristocracy by Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans, whom Jermyn Street is named after.

Their associations with the upper echelons of society continue today as Jermyn Street is said to have the most royal warrants of any street in the country.
