/ About Mayfair▾
Mayfair takes its name from the annual May Fair that ran near what is now Shepherd Market from 1686 until 1764, by which time the fashionable district growing around it had little patience for the crowds. The land had passed to the Grosvenor family through the 1677 marriage of Sir Thomas Grosvenor and Mary Davies, and from the 1720s the surveyor Thomas Barlow laid out the grid of wide, straight streets that survives today — Grosvenor Square, set out between 1725 and 1731, at its centre, with Berkeley Square close by. Georgian terraces, garden squares and a quiet, moneyed reserve still define the streets.
The area’s event character rests on grand hotels, members’ clubs and the trades that made it — art and antiques. Park Lane carries the deepest concentration of hotel ballrooms in London: The Dorchester, which opened in 1931 and keeps its 1930s ballroom, stands along the park, while Claridge’s holds the corner of Brook Street and Davies Street. The auction houses anchor the other trade — Sotheby’s has occupied 34–35 New Bond Street since 1917 — and the galleries of Cork Street, where the first opened in 1925, still show contemporary work. Between them the district answers dinners, receptions and launches at almost any scale.
Bond Street and Mount Street set the tone for shopping and dining, while Shepherd Market keeps a village intimacy of narrow lanes and small restaurants at Mayfair’s southern edge. Green space is never far: Hyde Park runs the whole western flank, and the garden squares open pockets of lawn between the terraces, lending a reception an outdoor dimension in the heart of the West End. For access, Bond Street station brings the Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines, Green Park adds the Piccadilly and Victoria, and Marble Arch and Hyde Park Corner frame the district — so a London or international guest list arrives with ease.
