Introduction: The Connaught Hotel London is located in the heart of Mayfair just off of Grosvenor Square (location of the American Embassy). Mayfair is the most exclusive area in London and home many 5 star hotels. Residential by nature, for those that can afford the astronomical prices, with a mix of fabulous shopping and offices for some of the worlds leading companies. Bordered by Oxford Street to the north where there's something for everyone with a mile and half long road of endless shops and restaurants. Just on the eastern side is Bond Street, famous for its high quality jewellery stores and fashion boutiques. Running parallel with Bond Street is Saville Row, where men go to buy the best in made to measure suits. Just 1/3rd of a mile to the west if Hyde Park. Here you will find much to see and do, dotted with statues and la series of landscaped gardens, there are also many snack bars along with a gallery and boats for hire on good weather days. Horse riding tracks go all around the park and can be hired from nearby stables. 1/3rd of a mile to the south is Piccadilly which has its own row of shops (also home to Shepherds' Market), best known of which is perhaps Fortnum and Mason, and which leads down to Piccadilly Circus where the theatreland and nightlife is to be found. Just the other side of Piccadilly is Green Park, an open space and which makes up part of the grounds to Buckingham Palace (0.7 miles). Its less than a mile from here to ever popular Knightsbridge and its chic shopping and home to the Harrods Department Store. The hotel is on the corner of Carlos Place and Mount Street, while not a main road, it is a cut through for traffic and can be busy at peak times, but not excessively. Other local places on interest include the Michael Faraday Museum (worked with electricity) (0.3 miles), Sotheby's Auction House (0.3 miles), Speakers Corner (0.4 miles), Wigmore Hall classical music hall) (0.4 miles), Royal Academy of Arts (arts museum) (0.5 miles) and the Wallace Collection (0.5 miles).
