“The champagne and caviar of London Walks.” The best address in London and a bon vivant of a guide. A patrician promenade through the parallelogram of purses. Pip pipping where Old Masters and old money, Rollers and Rolexes are par for the course. A boulevardier and a bailiwick of butlers, titles and glamour. Hob-nobbing with knobs on it – because Mayfair’s been home to Clive of India, Disraeli, Handel, Florence Nightingale, Jimi Hendrix, Dodi Fayed and the Earl Mountbatten, to name but a few. Last but certainly not least, Mayfair boasts London’s best village within a village – Shepherd Market, a charming little nest of lanes and alleyways that hasn’t lost a jot of its 18th-century scale and village atmosphere, let alone its raffishness. Guided by Peter or Richard III or Claire or Oliver.

Wonderful informative and entertaining tour. The London Walk tours are gems. They take you into historic neighborhoods and make them come alive, adding history and personality to the streets and buildings. Our guide, Richard III, is superb!

Richard 111 has a great sense of humour and is knowledgeable with plenty of quirky facts thrown in on the Mayfair walk. Best addition is his portable mic and sound system – no need to crowd around to hear the patter.

Claire is an excellent guide. I learned a lot on this walking tour, from the origins of Mayfair to the present day. Claire took us to parts of Mayfair that I would not have found on my own.
