Handel & Hendrix in London
Visit the homes where Handel composed his iconic 'Messiah' and Jimmy Hendrix penned some of his best-loved songs.
Mayfair is one of London’s most affluent areas - it’s the most expensive square on the Monopoly board, after all. It gets its name from the May Fair, which was that held there for almost 100 years until it was banned in 1764. Now the area plays host to some of the capital’s most exclusive restaurants, swanky bars and designer shops, catering to the city’s rich and famous. There’s plenty to do when you’re tired of exquisite food and luxury shops, like relax in one of the area’s sumptuous hotels or head to the many spas. And if fancy goods and Michelin starred dining just isn’t your scene at all, don’t despair. Mayfair also has numerous galleries and museums, including the famous Royal Academy of Arts, to keep you entertained.
