Secret London has named Mayfair one of the best districts to stay in when visiting the capital, citing its central location, superb transport connections, award-winning restaurants, boutique shops and proximity to London’s top attractions and theatres.

What Secret London Says

The article notes: “Nestled close to Oxford Street and just a stone’s throw from Soho, Mayfair is among London’s most prestigious areas. Boasting luxurious boutiques on Bond Street and some of the city’s finest dining spots, Mayfair offers a wealth of activities, if you get me.

Centrally located, Mayfair borders Hyde Park to the west and well served by several Underground stations such as Bond Street, Green Park allowing easy access to the rest of London. Mayfair is home to some of the world’s most luxurious shops with high end boutiques, designer stores and brands… And so as expected, you can find a ton of Michelin-starred restaurants, pretty restaurants and fancy cocktail bars. Mayfair is a sophisticated choice.”
