Mayfair area information
Mayfair is home to some of London’s most exclusive shopping streets and desirable residential addresses. It is bordered by Hyde Park, Oxford Street, Piccadilly and Regent Street, and is an affluent area right at the heart of the City.
With its prestigious reputation comes a wealth of designer boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants and private members’ clubs. Homes start from around £1 million for a one-bedroom flat, though it is not uncommon for these residences to only be used for a short period over the summer months.
For those who do opt to make Mayfair a more permanent home, there is no shortage of things to do and places to explore. There are incredible galleries and exhibitions, acres of green space thanks to the surrounding parks, and easy access to the rest of London. There are some fantastic new developments underway, as former office buildings are being slowly restored to prime residential use.

Residential property in Mayfair
Flats start from just shy of £1M for a one-bedroom apartment in one of the many attractive art-deco or mansion blocks in the area, for example around the popular Grosvenor Square.

Larger apartments on the exclusive streets of Park Lane or North Row are in the region of £6M-£8M for three bedrooms.

Schools in Mayfair
Mayfair itself is a small area and there are only a handful of schools that fall within its boundaries.
The Grosvenor’s Mayfair estate has one primary school, St George’s of Hanover Square. This school is popular with those in London on business, as reflected in the schools ethnically diverse intake with an above-average number of pupils for whom English is an additional language. It is also more common for pupils to join and leave the school outside of the usual term times, according to information on Find My School. It is rated Good by Ofsted.
While there are no state secondary schools directly in Mayfair, there is a new upper school, which only opened in September 2017 and is the sole senior school in the area. Eaton Square Mayfair is a co-educational independent day school based in a Grade I listed townhouse at 106 Piccadilly.
There is a good choice of both state and private schools for all ages in the surrounding areas. For primary school children, Connaught House, Wetherby Preparatory and Hill House are all close by. The Good Schools Guide is a useful resource for researching the local schools.
