Mayfair named ‘London’s most expensive area’

Mayfair has recently been named ‘London’s most expensive area’, taking over from Knightsbridge as the capital’s most exclusive enclave.  

Though a wealthy area, Mayfair has always had a lot to offer in terms of the arts. The likes of George Frideric Handel and Jimi Hendrix are both past residents of Brook Street, while the numerous art galleries, auction houses, museums, and the long-standing presence of the Royal Academy of Arts on Piccadilly has helped cement Mayfair’s reputation as a major centre for the arts and culture.  

There are also annual events which celebrate Mayfair’s contribution to the worlds of art and design, such as Mayfair Art Weekend, and Mayfair Design District’s involvement in the London Design Festival.  

Mayfair is also blessed with stunning architecture, and a varied range of top-notch restaurants. It has long been associated with private members’ clubs, such as 5 Hertford Street.  

This W1 area is varied in its offering, and it boasts just enough offices and private homes to give it a sense of community.  

Mayfair also plays host to some of London’s most celebrated hotels, including Claridge’s, while its historic shopping arcades form part of the fabric of the area.  

Mayfair’s exclusive status has even passed into the world of board games. It features as the most expensive property on the standard British Monopoly board and demands the highest rents.
