St James's refers to the St James's area of London — an upmarket district in the City of Westminster associated with exclusive clubs, galleries, the Palace of St James's, and the park of the same name. The possessive apostrophe is characteristically retained in the formal name. In informal British speech, 'St James's' as a shorthand typically refers to St James's Park (home of Newcastle United FC in football contexts) or St James's Park in London. Context determines which is meant.
