Places of interest in Mayfair

Mayfair rewards walking. Between the obvious landmarks sit Georgian squares, mews lanes and blue plaques marking the homes of Handel, Hendrix and a long list of others, and the best places of interest in Mayfair are often the ones with no queue outside.
This section covers the neighbourhood’s landmarks, historic buildings, green spaces and quieter corners. It takes in Berkeley Square, Grosvenor Square, Shepherd Market and Burlington Arcade, alongside the arcades, churches and institutions that give W1 its character.
