Discover the best of Mayfair’s culinary secrets with this three-hour guided experience in partnership with Celia Brooks’s London Gastrotours.
Beginning with Champagne at Labombe by Trivet, the tour traverses cobbled streets and hidden eateries, before ending inside Mercato Mayfair, one of London's most breathtaking dining spaces.
Designed for those seeking a discerning exploration of London’s fashionable flavours, this tour shows you where to look whilst allowing you to set the pace.
The evening begins at Labombe by Trivet, where Champagne and mouth-watering snacks crafted by Michelin-starred chefs offer a first taste of Mayfair.
Second stop
The Hidden Village
The tour then moves to Shepherd Market, a cobbled village hidden within one of London's grandest postcodes, built in the 1730s and still unhurried by time. Here, light bites are taken at leisure, in a setting that feels a world away from the street you arrived from.
Third stop
British Cheese and Charcuterie
A local farm shop follows, where British cheese and charcuterie are chosen for their provenance and paired with wine.
Final stop
A Church Reborn
Mercato Mayfair occupies a Grade I-listed church on North Audley Street, its soaring nave and stained glass now home to more than 20 restaurants and bars from across the world.
Guests are invited to explore freely, staying on for the evening or returning to the hotel with their guide.
