 Buckingham Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally known as Buckingham House, the building forming the core of today's palace was formerly a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by King George III in 1762 as a private residence.
James's Palace remained the official and ceremonial royal residence; indeed, the tradition continues to date of foreign ambassadors being formally accredited to "the Court of St. James's", even though it is at Buckingham Palace that they present their credentials and staff to the Queen upon their appointment.
On VE Day (May 8, 1945), the Palace was the centre of British celebrations, with the King, Queen and the Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen, and Princess Margaret appearing on the balcony, with the palace's fled-out windows behind them, to the cheers from a vast crowd in the Mall.

 The English Coffee Houses
Many of the coffee-houses near St. Paul's Cathedral were the haunts of clergymen and intellectuals who gathered to discuss theology and philosophy.
It was in Westminster, near St. James' Palace, that London's political life emanated, and the coffee-houses in this area served as centres of this activity.
Both the St. James and the Cocoa-Tree, like most coffee-houses that were political in nature, eventually became exclusive clubs, but during the height of the coffee-house period, these establishments were open to anyone who chose to pay his penny at the bar.

“The palace was commissioned in 1530 by Henry VIII, on the site of a former leper hospital dedicated to Saint James the Less (from whom the Palace and the nearby Park take their names).
It was constructed in the red-brick Tudor style around four courtyards.
It became the principal residence of the monarch in London from 1698, when the Whitehall Palace was destroyed by fire, and became the administrative centre of the monarchy (a role it still retains).” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._James’s_Palace
