Mayfair overview
Mayfair is named after the May fair that was held there for almost 100 years, until it was banned from the area in 1764. Now Mayfair is a carnival for the rich and powerful. Its shops are temples to luxury goods, and its restaurants are among the finest in the country. When visitors tire of eating well and trying on designer clothes, they can have a drink in an exclusive Mayfair bar or relax in one of Mayfair's many sumptuous hotels.
