Mayfair, Residential area in West End, London, England

Mayfair sits between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Park Lane, featuring elegant Georgian and Victorian buildings alongside modern structures.

The district gained its name from the May Fair that operated from 1686 to 1764, before the Grosvenor family transformed it into an upper-class residential area.

The Royal Academy of Arts established in 1768 maintains its presence in Mayfair, presenting exhibitions of contemporary and historical artworks throughout the year.

Multiple underground stations serve the district, including Green Park and Bond Street, with numerous bus routes connecting to central London locations.

The area contains the highest concentration of five-star hotels in London, including Claridge's, The Dorchester, and The Ritz on Piccadilly.
