Walk with us through Mayfair, one of London's most prestigious and affluent neighbourhoods, known for its magnificent Georgian houses and squares, royal parks, and grand avenues.
Discover the area’s fascinating history, from its origins as a swampy field used for the annual May Fair celebrations in the 17th century, to its more recent status as the most expensive property on the London Monopoly board! Learn about Mayfair’s long association with the United States, including its connections with four different American presidents.
Mayfair also has its own Jewish history, with former residents including prominent Victorian Anglo-Jewish figures such as Benjamin Disraeli, Sir Moses Montefiore and Alfred de Rothschild, and later some famous 20th century musicians, movie stars – and hairdressers! Hear their stories and many others which form part of 1,000 years of Jewish history in Britain.
Join us as we explore magnificent Mayfair, enjoying its geography and learning about its history - both general and Jewish. This tour is for everybody!
