The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Mayfair, England

June 1, 2021 Nobuko Falco

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Annely Juda Fine Art

Reviewed By futtock21 - London, United Kingdom

In a side street a palette’s throw from both New Bond Street and Oxford Street, accessed up four flights of stairs in a rather nondescript office building which it shares with Osborne Samuel is Annely Juda Fine Art. Since mid-June it has re-opened its David Hockney exhibition which I had missed prior to the lockdown. There are two rooms of recent portraits of friends, celebrities and commissions, the only thing in common is that they are all sitting in various degrees of discomfort on chairs, wriggling in rather confined spaces. Absent any information about the subjects the only one I recognised was Ed Sheehan, and only then because I had seen some advance advertising. Downstairs on the third floor, however, were, by contrast, works encompassing comparatively vast canvasses, an ever-changing video in a dozen or more parts, showing a verdant North Yorkshire landscape; some vast limited edition prints showing a room full of people sitting at or walking around chairs at some sort of art lecture. The only opportunity for sitting for the visitor, however, is in front of a video or videos of a wintry Yorkshire landscape. Perhaps a metaphor now for a universal lockdown.

Jesuit Church of The Immaculate Conception Farm Street

Reviewed By DERtravels - Upland, United States

While staying at the Grosvenor House, we wanted to go to Sunday Mass.We were very fortunate that there was a 5:30pm Sunday service here. Locals call this the Farm Street Church. Our cabbie dropped us off at a very non descriptive entrance. Once we walked inside, we were awed by the architecture. The stonemasonry and the decor of this outrageously beautiful. The service was very warm and allowed for contemplation. The regular parishioners were very friendly. We exited the church opposite of where we entered and found a lovely courtyard and a beautiful little park. Well worth a visit even if you don't stay for services.

Mayfair, is posh quarter of London, best hotels, restaurants, bars and shops, you can find here. Despite, this quarter is worth to visit because of the beautiful architecture of houses hidden here, nice small streets or squares, which will surprise. I always bring my friends to this quarter to show how beautiful is.

Royal Academy of Arts

Founded in 1768, this thriving center of artistic excellence is the oldest fine arts institution in Britain, whose exhibitions attract over a million people each year.

Reviewed By 962AndrewY

Klimt / Schiele Drawings a wonderful exhibition, masterfully displayed with informative narrative about the relationship between the two painters and the cross pollenisation of ideas between them. Some of the drawings contain adult themes, so not suitable for the younger audience. There is a requirement to book a time slot for entry but once in the gallery there is no requirement to rush the appreciation of the drawings. All in all a very enjoyable display of artworks which shows the thinking and development of the ideas towards some of the best know art works of the 20th century.

It had always been an ambition of mine to attend one of the lectures at the Royal Institution, and I finally managed to do this last week, the building is amazing, the staff were fantastic and the lecture was very informative! The lecturer engaged with the audience (including children) very well and kept everyone captivated.

West End

Reviewed By BigHugh51 - Adelaide, Australia

This is a vast part of London and as its name suggests, it is located to the west of the part of London known as the City of London. This was our fourth visit to London and each of those visits has seen us spend a substantial amount of time in the West End. Our activities in the West End during this most recent visit involved shopping in the extensive retail neighbourhood around Oxford Street and strolling through the fascinating theatre district around Leicester Square and Shaftsbury Avenue. Wherever we went in the West End, we found crowds of both locals and tourists out, enjoying the summer sunshine. Anyone who visits London as a tourist should spend at least half a day visiting as much of the West End of London as they can. A full day would be even better but this would still not do it justice!
