About this Event

Long associated with the aristocracy and the wealthy, we will explore the fashionable area of St. James’s and learn about Georgian London. Sometimes called the Age of Elegance, we will see where our Georgian ladies shopped, discover why hairstyles forced them to sit on floors of their coaches and where the men gambled outrageously at the exclusive Gentlemen’s Clubs. We will meet Beau Brummell, see the smallest square in London and finally walk through St James’s Park to learn about Princess Diana’s ancestors – and how fireworks were particularly dangerous in Georgian London!
