Workation in Jamestown: the essentials

Few capitals are as hard to reach as Jamestown, wedged into a narrow valley on the north-west coast of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic. The English East India Company founded it in 1659, and many of the Company's 18th-century buildings still give the main street a Georgian look. Napoleon stayed briefly in 1815 on his way to exile inland, and Jacob's Ladder, a stairway of 699 steps, climbs the side of the valley. Saint Helena Airport is about 8 km away, but commercial flights are few, so a stay has to be planned around the schedule. Goods arrive by ship, and in a town this small housing is limited.
