About Mayfair That Mayfair is the top property on the Monopoly board is no idle boast. The area encompasses stunning residential property and the most exclusive shops in London. It is also home to some of the world's grandest and most prestigious hotels including The Ritz, The Dorchester, the Connaught and the delightfully grand Claridge's. The glorious Burlington Arcade which runs from Piccadilly to Burlington Gardens was built in 1819 and is patrolled by top-hatted Beadles who enforce the rules of 'no singing, whistling or hurrying'! If you turn right at the Burlington Gardens end of the arcade, you'll find Savile Row, world famous for its fine bespoke tailoring. Turn left out of the arcade and you'll find Bond Street, the smartest shopping street in London with more 'By Royal Appointments' than any other!
