Meet your guide outside the Hard Rock Cafe or be met in the lobby of Mayfair area hotels at a time suitable for you.

Then, it's time to escape the hustle and bustle of the beaten path and discover the story of how Mayfair became London’s most fashionable address. From its origins as the countryside relive the story of Mayfair’s creation, expansive and home to the privileged few.

During your tour you will explore Mayfair like a local and enjoy quiet and quaint streets, gardens and square, discover unique shopping locations unlike any others in the world, and hear how the area has connections to musicians, celebrities, diplomats and royalty.

Then, explore the nearby area of St. James’s. Here lie some of the oldest shops in the country including where the Royal Family spend their money, antique dealerships, London’s private clubs and even a royal palace or two.

Curious? Discover the stories, history and people that have made Mayfair and St. James’s neighbourhoods unlike any other in the city.
