Overview

Just 300 years ago, Mayfair and Berkeley Square were no more than a muddy field. This walk charts its progress from its early days as a playground for the aristocracy to today's comfortable mix of luxurious mansions, exclusive shops and enchanting parks and squares. As you wander along some of London's most fashionable streets, passing houses occupied by Royalty and the aristocracy, you can marvel at the architecture and be amazed at the beautiful glass and china on display in Mayfair's shop windows! We go inside one of London's most sophisticated department stores to hear how they invented the hamper, why Michelle Obama was responsible for clearing its shelves and the inside story of Royal Warrants. Discover how Mayfair used to be one of London's most notorious red light districts and find out its sordid secrets. This tour tells tales of Mayfair's highs and lows, of the characters who called it home and of the odd celebrity with a connection to this fascinating area.
