Majestic Mayfair London Walking Tour
Summary Description
Highlights
- Visit iconic department stores.
- Admire some of the city's best architecture.
- See where Frederic Handel and Jimi Hendrix lived.
Description
We will begin on Oxford Street, outside the iconic Selfridge's Department Store. Opened by Mayfair resident Harry Gordon Selfridge who coined the phrase “the customer is always right”, and whose personal life nearly bankrupted the business.
From there, we will find out who the Dukes of Westminster are and why are they so rich, as well as a stop to see the home where Queen Elizabeth II was born.
Meet resident Oscar Wilde and the men who connected him with the richest British Prime Minister the UK ever had (spoiler: it didn’t end well.)
We will visit The Royal Institution of Great Britain where Sodium, Potassium, Barium, Boron, Calcium, Chlorine, Magnesium, Strontium, Iodine, and Argon were discovered.
Glance at some of the world's most expensive and luxurious vehicles, the UK’s biggest jewellery heist, and discover what made Mayfair the most expensive property on the London Monopoly board!
So join Free Tours By Foot and find out just exactly what the Mayfair was!
