Beautiful Mayfair: Money, Power, Luxury, Royalty & Scandal
♡ Save
Come and discover the rich history of Mayfair, where Royalty, Lords, Ladies, the Great and the Good (and the not so good!) from the UK and overseas have spent their time and their money over the centuries - but it wasn't always that way.
On this tour, we'll meet Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers, Generals and Dukes, Politicians and Rock Stars, Film Stars and Criminals, Royal Barbers and Great Minds, Pubs and Clubs. High-End Fashion and Beauty, Births and Deaths, Jesus and Madonna!
From Hangings to Free Speech and the Women's Right to Vote to the Theory of Evolution. From World War 2 to 9/11. Royal Abdications, Scandals, and the first Red Phone Box. There's something for everyone, and it's all in a stunningly beautiful area in London!
The Mayfair tour will visit: Marble Arch (Start near Marble Arch and Bond Street stations) Tyburn Gallows Speakers' Corner Park Lane Green Street Grosvenor Square Mount Street Gardens Curzon Street Shepherd Market Old Bond Street Piccadilly The Royal Academy (Finish, near Piccadilly Circus and Green Park stations).
I'll also be happy to give tips and advice on anything to help you get the most out of your time visiting London…. Just Ask!
