Mayfair is one of the most affluent and expensive areas in London. It became famous in the 17th century for its annual “May Fair” that took place in what is now Shepherd Market, located between Piccadilly and Curzon Street.

What to See, Do & Eat
There’s plenty to do in Mayfair for culture vultures. For instance, the Royal Academy of Arts in Piccadilly has been around for over 250 years and is famous for its Summer Exhibition that showcases innovative works by contemporary artists. The area isn’t short of green spaces either: Green Park borders Mayfair to the West and is glorious in the autumn months!
Unsurprisingly, Mayfair contains a number of five-star restaurants but also boasts less expensive hidden gems. For example, L’Autre on Shepherd Street serves Polish and Mexican food at reasonable prices. Ristorante Frescobaldi (Italian), The Araki (Sushi) and Scott’s (seafood) are just a few of the restaurants that come highly recommended.
