Mayfair has a fascinating history that oozes pure sophistication. The area, inherited from the grand manor of Eia, was brought to life in the early 18th century. Thomas Barlow's vision for the district laid the foundation for high-end residences and spacious squares that defined Mayfair's character. Locally, this district is synonymous with the annual May Fair held from 1686 to 1764 at Shepherd Market. These hallowed grounds played host to a vibrant tapestry of fairground attractions, adding a colour essential to the local culture.

As history took its course, Mayfair bloomed into a sophisticated, largely commercial district in the early 20th century. It became home to corporate offices, embassies and converted residential houses. Meanwhile, the 8-acre Grosvenor Square stood as Mayfair's celebrated gem, housing some of the most luxurious properties. A notable timeless marker is St George's, Hanover Square – an 18th-century ornate church adding a historic charm to this grand locale. Embracing both commercial and residential spaces, Mayfair offers a seamless blend of lavish shopping places, top-notch hospitality and rents that match its opulent status.
