272 is an advert for John Lewis & Partners, a company who opened their department store in Edinburgh at the St James Centre in 1973 and has since been extended twice. The remainder of the St James Centre – at the east end of Princes Street – has been demolished and its replacement (the St James Quarter), of which John Lewis will still be an important part, is due to start opening from this June.
