It is one of the most expensive districts in the world. The area was originally part of the manor of Eia and remained largely rural until the early 18th century.

By the end of the 18th century, most of Mayfair was built on with upper-class housing; unlike some nearby areas of Lon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
