The Stafford London — backstory

Backstory

During the Blitz, Allied officers sheltered in the seventeenth-century wine cellars, starting a tradition of leaving behind signed insignia and ties.

Eat & drink

Order dry martinis beneath model planes in the American Bar, or descend into the vaulted cellars housing eight thousand vintage bottles.

The neighborhood

The cul-de-sac opens onto St James's private clubs, with the expanse of Green Park and Buckingham Palace just beyond.
