Fascinating Private Walking Tour of St James' & Mayfair with a qualified guide
Tour info
Why take this tour?
This fascinating tour of two of the most loved areas of London, St James' and Mayfair, lasts for 3-3.5 hours. St James' developed around the Royals whereas Mayfair was built for the aristocrats so on this tour, you follow in the footsteps of both! The centrepiece of St James' is the majestic palace built by Henry VIII and as you meander the streets in the shadow of its great gate-tower, you will pass the gentlemen's clubs and elegant outfitters which have been a mecca to royals and gentlemen alike for centuries. Walk a little further north and the tour takes you past the luxurious houses, beautiful gardens and exclusive shops of aristocratic Mayfair before arriving in Shepherd Market which used to be the home to Mayfair's thriving sex industry. Admire the glamorous shops with their exquisite displays of china, glass and silverware and enjoy the delightful aromas of over 150 artisan cheeses in one of the oldest shops in the world. Food/drink is not included in the cost of the tour.
