Mayfair is no short of coffee shops. From such a large selection of cafes in Mayfair, it will only be difficult to choose which one will become your go-to spot.

The requirements of the aristocracy led to stables, coach houses and servants' accommodation being established along the mews running parallel to the streets. Some of the stables have since been converted into garages and offices. [2] Both the sales and rental markets in Mayfair have boomed since the last housing market crash and property prices are now among the highest in the world, proof of the new surge in demand.

In fact, Mayfair is becoming a borough of extremes with either young, wealthy residents making homes there or older couples whose children have grown-up, downsizing to be near the West End, theatres and shops. I was recently poking through the Decadent Publishing catalog and when I spotted this title, I knew I would have to read it. A fortune hunter, a woman scorned, and the possibility of revenge?

A water supply to the area was built by the Chelsea Water Works, and a royal warrant was issued in 1725 for a reservoir in Hyde Park that could supply water at what is now Grosvenor Gate. In 1835, the reservoir was decorated with an ornamental basin and a fountain in its centre. [23] In 1963, following the widening of Park Lane, it was rebuilt as the Joy of Life Fountain.
