Bourdon House, Grade II* listed house in Mayfair, City of Westminster, England.
Bourdon House is a four-story brick building at the corner of Davies Street and Bourdon Street featuring architectural details from the 18th century. The interior shows period design elements alongside later alterations, including an extra floor that shaped the structure visitors see today.
The house was built between 1723 and 1725 under surveyor Thomas Barlow, with Captain William Bourdon as its first resident. Over the following centuries, expansions and modifications were made, including a northern wing added in 1737 and an additional floor constructed in the mid-1800s.
The house takes its name from its first resident, Captain William Bourdon, and its location in Mayfair reflects the neighborhood's long association with wealthy Londoners. Visitors today experience the space primarily as a retail shop, though the original layout still shows how upper-class families lived in central London.
The building now operates as a retail location for Dunhill, a luxury fashion and accessories shop, so the interior is open primarily during business hours. Visitors should note that the spaces inside have been adapted for retail use and only show glimpses of the original architecture, so viewing the exterior is equally worthwhile.
The Duke of Westminster made this his primary residence from 1917 to 1953, even though he owned the larger Grosvenor House nearby. His choice reveals that location and character mattered more to him than sheer size.
