Mayfair Area Guide
Area Guide: Living in Mayfair: London's Most Prestigious Address
Mayfair is the crown jewel of Central London’s luxury property market. Located in the heart of the West End, bordered by Hyde Park, Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Park Lane, Mayfair is home to grand Georgian townhouses, five-star hotels, embassies, Michelin-starred dining, and ultra-prime developments. It's where heritage, wealth, and exclusivity meet.
For discerning buyers and international investors, Mayfair offers unparalleled prestige, security, and capital preservation in one of the world’s most valuable postcodes.
Elite International’s Mayfair Legacy
Elite International Real Estate proudly operated from Mayfair between 2006 and 2019. During this period, we worked with high-net-worth individuals, overseas buyers, and developers looking to access Prime Central London’s ultra-luxury segment.
In 2020, prompted by the pandemic and a shift to remote work, we transitioned to a hybrid agency model. This move allowed us to expand our reach across Greater London and beyond while maintaining the premium service levels of a traditional Mayfair agency. With remote operations, virtual tools, and flexible viewing services, we now offer clients the best of both worlds: high street service with online convenience and transparency.
