Product Information

Mayfair was born in the 1700s, when the politician and property developer Sir Richard Grosvenor was granted permission to build on Grosvenor Square.

In addition to drinks, Laduree Burlington Arcade is known for its world-renowned macarons and other French pastries, including croissants, eclairs, and tarts. They also serve a range of breakfast and lunch dishes, including eggs, sandwiches, and salads. The cafe has a refined and upscale atmosphere, making it a popular spot for special occasions or for indulging in a bit of luxury. And, says Peter Wetherell, who has been selling properties in the area for 35 years, Mayfair is definitely getting younger.

Almost half the properties are privately let, compared with 26 per cent that are privately owned. Since its opening in 1958, the Goat Tavern has been a place where locals would gather for a crisp cold pint and gossip or two.
