Luxury Apartments and Townhouses in Mayfair
Apartments and townhouses between Hyde Park and Regent Street, in London's most polished square mile
As featured in
Georgian squares, good tailoring and Hyde Park at the end of the street
Mayfair takes its name from a fair held each May on what was then open ground at the edge of London. The fair was shut down in the eighteenth century, and the Georgian squares and brick terraces built in its place are still there. Today the district sits neatly between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Park Lane, with Hyde Park and Green Park on two of its borders.
Our Mayfair collection runs to 80+ properties, mostly apartments in period buildings and portered blocks around Berkeley Square, Grosvenor Square and Curzon Street, plus a few townhouses for families who want their own front door. Some come with terraces, lifts or a gym in the building.
Below we cover which streets to choose, when to come and how to get here.

Mount Street and Grosvenor Square for a quiet residential feel near Hyde Park, Berkeley Square and Bond Street for shops and galleries, and Shepherd Market for small restaurants and village lanes off Piccadilly.
The quieter west side, a stroll from the park
Much of western Mayfair still belongs to the Grosvenor estate, which explains the order of it all: terracotta mansion blocks on Mount Street, plane trees in Grosvenor Square and very little through traffic. Mount Street Gardens, tucked behind the Jesuit church on Farm Street, is the sort of bench-and-birdsong spot that most visitors walk straight past.
From here, Hyde Park is a few minutes away across Park Lane. For families this is the side of Mayfair to choose, with morning runs to the Serpentine and room to breathe after a day in town.

Where London still shops properly
Bond Street runs north to south through the middle of Mayfair, lined with the big fashion and jewellery houses. A street or two east, Savile Row has been the home of English tailoring for well over a century, and a first fitting there is worth having at least once.
Burlington Arcade, opened in 1819, still has its beadles in top hats keeping order among the cashmere and watch shops. Cork Street and the streets around it are full of commercial art galleries, and nobody minds if you browse without buying.

Messiah, Hendrix and the Summer Exhibition
The Royal Academy of Arts, at Burlington House on Piccadilly, has held its Summer Exhibition every year since 1769. Up the road on Brook Street, Handel lived at number 25 from 1723 until his death and wrote Messiah there. Jimi Hendrix lived next door in the late 1960s, and the two flats now make up one museum, Handel Hendrix House.
Shepherd Market, built on the site of the old fair, is Mayfair at its most relaxed: small pubs, little restaurants and pavement tables in a knot of lanes just off Curzon Street.

Oysters on Mount Street, tea at Claridge's
Mayfair eats very well. Scott's on Mount Street has been serving seafood for generations, afternoon tea at Claridge's is a London tradition, and the streets around Shepherd Market and Dover Street give you everything from Japanese to proper Italian.
London works in any season. Late spring and early summer bring long evenings in the parks and the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition, and in November the Christmas lights go up on Bond Street and Regent Street. Our concierge can book restaurant tables, theatre seats, a private chef and transfers from the airport.

The right house, not the nearest one
Mayfair changes from street to street, from hushed residential squares to busy shopping streets, and we know which apartments are quiet at night and still a short walk from the park and the best tables. With 80+ properties in Mayfair, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Restaurant and theatre reservations, a private chef, Savile Row fittings, gallery visits, nannies and transfers from Heathrow, Gatwick or St Pancras. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay in Mayfair?
Mount Street and Grosvenor Square are the quietest and closest to Hyde Park, which suits families. Berkeley Square and the streets around Bond Street put you near shops and galleries, and Shepherd Market has a relaxed, village feel with good small restaurants.
When is the best time to visit Mayfair?
Mayfair is good all year. May to September brings long evenings in Hyde Park and Green Park and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, while November and December are lovely for the Christmas lights and seasonal shopping.
Why is it called Mayfair?
The name comes from the fair held each May on open ground here from the late seventeenth century. It was suppressed in the eighteenth century, and Shepherd Market now stands on part of the old site.
Can you arrange a private chef at a apartment in Mayfair?
Yes. Our concierge can arrange a private chef for a single dinner or your whole stay, along with cookery lessons, guided visits, transfers and restaurant reservations.

Across our 80+ properties in Mayfair, weekly rates typically range from £4,100 to £11,000, with the most affordable from around £3,400 a week and the largest estates well above. Prices depend on the size of the property, its location and the season, with July and August the most expensive. These are guide prices based on current listings; each property page shows its own rates for your dates.
