Things To See and Do In Mayfair

Mayfair is one of the most affluent areas of London and gets its’ name from the May Fair which was actually held every two weeks for 100 years until it stopped in 1764. Today, there is plenty to do in Mayfair, including visiting one of the many art galleries and museums in the area which include the well-known Royal Academy of Arts. 

The composer Handel lived here and it is where he wrote The Messiah. Jimi Hendrix also lived here with his girlfriend in Berkeley Square and wrote some of his most famous songs. You can visit both their houses.
