In his book, St. James’s Palace: From Leper Hospital to Royal Court, Rufus Bird explores the history of this lesser-known royal residence. Serving as the official residence of the British monarch from 1698 to 1837, St. James’s Palace played a crucial role in London’s development. Bird, former Surveyor of the Queen’s Works of Art, and current consultant at Gurr Johns, brings to life the palace’s transformation and historical significance.
