Mayfair
| District of Westminster, London, vaguely defined as lying between Piccadilly and Oxford Street, and including Park Lane; formerly a fashionable residential district, but increasingly taken up by offices, hotels, and nightclubs. |
| Mayfair is bounded to the west by Hyde Park and to the south and east by St James's Park, two of London's largest green areas. Mayfair derives its name from a fair held here in May from Charles II's time until 1809; part of the site is now occupied by Shepherd Market, built in about 1735. |
