Watercolour of one of Mayfair's elegant shopping streets.
 
Mount Street runs between Grosvenor Square and Park Street in the heart of Mayfair, and has quietly transformed into one of London's most refined retail destinations. Once a quieter side street, it now hosts independent boutiques, designer fashion houses, art galleries and small cafés, all housed in handsome Georgian and Victorian buildings.
 
The street benefits from Mayfair's grand urban planning, with wide pavements, mature trees and a sense of space that feels rare in central London. Many buildings retain classical details such as stucco fronts, wrought-iron balconies and tall sash windows.
 
Interesting facts…
Mount Street was heavily redeveloped in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as Mayfair consolidated its reputation as a luxury district. Today it is often described as a more relaxed alternative to Bond Street.
