Mayfair is the one part of London built for a proper night out: dinner, a drink that means something, and a walk home past windows you cannot afford.
Dinner
Mayfair has more good restaurants per street than anywhere in Britain, and our guide to the best restaurants in Mayfair covers the ones that earn the postcode, from the Michelin-starred cooking at Gymkhana to the all-day theatre of The Wolseley. For a group, a private dining room turns dinner into something closed-door and yours.
The drink
No evening in Mayfair is complete without a martini at the Connaught Bar, made at your table from a trolley and rightly held to be one of the best in the world. It leads our cocktail bars guide.
Stay the night
If the evening is an occasion, make the stay part of it. Our luxury hotels guide starts here, with Claridge’s and The Connaught a few minutes apart.
Dinner, a martini, a grand room: that is a perfect Mayfair evening, and every door is within a ten-minute walk of the last.
