Overview of the area.

Mayfair is named after the annual fortnight-long May
Fair that
took place on the site that is Shepherd
Market today
(from 1686 until
it was banned in that location in 1764).
Until 1686, the May Fair was held in Haymarket,
and after 1764, it moved to Fair Field in Bow because
the well-to-do residents of the area felt the fair lowered the
tone of the neighbourhood.[1]
Mayfair was anciently part of the parish of St
Martin in the Fields,
and became part of St
George Hanover Square in
1724. The new parish stretched to Bond Street in the southern
part of Mayfair and almost to Regent Street north of Conduit
Street. The northern boundary was Oxford Street and the southern
boundary fell short of Piccadilly. The parish continued west of
Mayfair into Hyde Park and then south to include Belgravia and
other areas.
The old telephone district of MAYfair (later 629) changed east
of Bond Street to REGent (later 734). Most of the area was first
developed between the mid 17th century and the mid 18th century
as a fashionable residential district, by a number of landlords,
the most important of them being the Dukes of Westminster, the
Grosvenor family. The Rothschild bought up large areas of
Mayfair in the 19th century. The freehold of
a large section of Mayfair also belongs to the Crown
Estate.
The district is now mainly commercial, with many offices in
converted houses and new buildings, including major corporate
headquarters, a concentration of hedge funds, real estate
businesses and many different embassy offices, namely the U.S.'s
large office taking up all the west side of Grosvenor Square.[2] Rents
are among the highest in London and the world. There remains a
substantial quantity of residential property as well as some
exclusive shopping and London's largest concentration of luxury hotels and
many restaurants. Buildings in Mayfair include both the Canadian
High Commission and the United
States embassy
in Grosvenor
Square,
the Royal, The Handel
House Museum,
the Grosvenor
House Hotel, Claridge's and The
Dorchester.
The renown and prestige of Mayfair could have grown in the
popular mind because it is the most expensive property on
the British Monopoly set.
Mayfair has become an attractive location away from the City of
London for private banks, hedge funds and wealth managers. The
Egyptian Education Bureau is located in Chesterfield Gardens. EasyGroup has
its head office in Mayfair.
Cadbury formerly
had its head office in Mayfair. In 2007, Cadbury Schweppes
announced that it was moving to Uxbridge, London
Borough of Hillingdon,
to cut costs. Mayfair also boasts some of the capital's most
exclusive shops, hotels, restaurants and clubs. Just alongside
Burlington House is one of London's most luxurious shopping
areas, the Burlington
Arcade,
which has housed shops under its glass-roofed promenade since
1819.
