Old Mayfair
Guided walks around London's best address
Mondays and Thursdays at 10.30am
Walks start at 10.30 am on Mondays and Thursdays, leaving
from Green Park Tube Station.
(meet on the corner, just outside the north exit - Piccadilly north side)
Your guide will be holding up copies of the distinctive white London Walks leaflet.
It's a champagne cocktail of a walk and a marriage made in heaven: "the best address in London" and a bon vivant of a guide - a boulevardier and a place where Old Masters and old money, Rolls Royces and glamour, titles and butlers are par for the course. It's hob-nobbing with knobs on it - because Mayfair's been home to Admiral Nelson (and his mistress Lady Emma Hamilton), Clive of India, Disraeli, Handel, Florence Nightingale, Peter Sellers, Jimi Hendrix, Dodi Fayed, and the Earl Mountbatten, to name but a few. Last but certainly not least, it boasts London's best village within a village - Shepherd Market, a charming little nest of alleys that hasn't lost a jot of its 18th-century scale and village atmosphere, let alone its raffishness.
The Old Mayfair Walk takes place

Meet Graham or Russell on the corner just outside
