About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Enjoy a special guided tour of the exclusive Mayfair area. Its reputation as the most desirable place to own property in London is as true today as on the original 1930’s Monopoly board and as in the 1720s when its first upmarket town houses were built. But like most of London, there’s plenty of variety and some surprises beneath the polished veneer of wealthy Mayfair.

This walk takes us through the designer streets but goes off them too, down the lanes and alleys, finding plenty of colour and human interest, giving us a more complete and rounded view of this fascinating area.

This walk is led by City of Westminster Guide Mary Enright.
