Introduction: The Holiday Inn Mayfair is located in the
prestigious and fashionable area of Mayfair. The hotel is situated on Berkeley
Street (a small street which is used as a through route so remains busy most of
the day) yards from Piccadilly where the famous Fortnum and Mason store is
located. Piccadilly borders Green Park which makes up part of the grounds of
Buckingham Palace. This location is right in the heart of London and is
surrounded by major attractions and shopping. Almost opposite the hotel is the
Palm Beach Casino with many more casinos in the surrounding area. A short walk
to the east is Bond Street, known internationally for its high class jewellery
and fashion shops. Just beyond Bond Street is Regent Street which marks the
start of the West End and Theatreland. The Street itself is a long winding road
with a host of shops and restaurants with areas like Soho adjacent. Oxford
Street is 0.5 miles to the north and provides more conventional shopping geared
to the London visitor. As well as being close to Green park another major park
within walking distance is Hyde Park, where you will find enough to and see to
keep you interested for a whole day in this one park alone. Other selected
nearby attractions include the Michael Faraday Museum (0.14 miles), Royal
Academy of Arts (0.16 miles), St James's Palace (0.3 miles), Piccadilly Circus
(0.36 miles) and Buckingham Palace (0.4 miles). The biggest attraction in London
is the London Eye which is 1 mile away just on the south side of the River close
to the Houses of Parliament.
