    Mayfair

    An exclusive neighbourhood of Georgian architecture and home to countless luxury apartments, Mayfair is a haven for the city’s most perceptive residents.

    Making a statement of its regal history, the streets of Mayfair are lined with Bentleys and traditional pattern-book brick Victorian houses. A borough teeming with cultural heritage, you certainly won’t be short of things to do near Mayfair. Named after an annual springtime festival that was a far cry from its current status, it was acquired in the 18th-century by The Grosvenor family and transformed into an aristocratic playground. Now, most Mayfair apartments in London are located near a mosaic of opulent shops, restaurants and galleries with interiors as elegantly designed as their facades. Pick from the capital’s finest cultural institutions or find a spot to unwind with three Royal Parks only a stone’s throw away. Whatever your idea of the perfect day is, staying in apartments in Mayfair keep you within the charm of its intimately pastoral atmosphere while remaining above the humdrum.

Alternatively, try brunch at Kitty Fisher's or simply grab a coffee at the Park Room. Afternoon tea in Mayfair is usually a sophisticated affair – Claridge's is no exception.

Fine dining in Mayfair doesn’t get much better than Le Gavroche, which serves haute French cuisine that has won Chef Michel Roux Jr two Michelin stars. The wine bars in Mayfair serve quality drinks– try Frescobaldi, whose selection of wine is as revered as its gastronomy.

    Arts and Culture

    Aside from the quintessentially British architecture, the designer – and well-designed —boutiques and the tapestry of culinary delights, what are the sights and attractions in Mayfair? Our answer: its thriving art scene. Contemporary art enthusiasts will feel right at home at the renowned Hauser and Wirth Gallery whose identity has shaped the creative industry. If you’ve got time on your hands, drop by the David Zwirner Gallery, which stretches across three floors of an 18th-century Georgian townhouse. The new Saatchi Yates gallery, opened by Charles Saatchi’s daughter Phoebe Saatchi Yates alongside her husband Arthur Yates, occupies a considerable 10,000sq ft across two floors and supports emerging international artists.

Opt for 54 the Gallery, the Goodman Gallery or the Halcyon Gallery for a quick tour of contemporary oeuvres by up-and-coming international artists.
