A Guide To London's Mount Street Neighbourhood

Mount Street Neighbourhood doesn’t shout, and that’s exactly its appeal. Tucked behind Grosvenor Square in central London, Mount Street Neighbourhood is where heritage and modern luxury meet. Despite being home to some of the city’s most exclusive addresses, from Scott’s to The Connaught, this corner of London has maintained its calm, village-like feel. No queues. No crowds. This is Mayfair at its most refined.

The Connaught

A cornerstone of Mount Street, The Connaught is one of London’s most iconic stays, and for good reason. This historic address opened in 1815 and over the past two centuries, has played host to royals, artists, and celebrities, including Princess Diana and Cary Grant. Inside, you’ll find flower-filled foyers, polished wood, and gleaming marble corridors that lead to dining rooms by Jean-Georges and Hélène Darroze, the Aman spa, and some of the capital’s most stunning suites. With a private art collection of over 3,000 pieces, world-class bars, and quietly brilliant service, The Connaught continues to set the standard, from the moment you are greeted by Carl Holness, The Connaught’s smiling doorman, right through to check-out.

The Beaumont

Tucked behind Brown Hart Gardens, The Beaumont is a discreet five-star hotel that nods to 1920s New York thanks to rich Art Deco interiors, walnut-panelled walls, and a low-lit Magritte Bar that feels like it’s been lifted straight from a noir film. The signature restaurant serves up elevated American grill classics—think corn ribs and dry-aged steaks—in a clubby, old-school setting. Upstairs, the rooms are generously sized and impeccably styled, making for a fantastic base to explore the neighbourhood.

The Twenty Two

The Twenty Two blends Mayfair elegance with a touch of hedonism. Housed in a grand Edwardian townhouse, it functions as both a hotel and a private members’ club, drawing a creative, fashion-loving crowd. Rooms and suites are eclectic yet plush: velvet four-poster beds, blue-trim robes and playful antiques create a lived-in kind of luxury. Downstairs, the all-day restaurant serves up polished modern British dishes with views over Grosvenor Square.

Scott’s

Scott’s is a London institution. First established in 1851 as an oyster warehouse, it moved to its current Mount Street location in 1968 and quickly cemented its status as one of the city’s most-loved seafood restaurants. Its old-school interiors—white linen, mirrored walls, and a marble-topped oyster bar—have long attracted London’s elite. Famously, it was here that Ian Fleming is said to have first ordered a dry martini “shaken, not stirred,” a detail that would go on to define Bond’s signature drink. Today, Scott’s remains the go-to for perfectly dressed British oyster or classic Lobster Thermidor—all washed down with their own-label Chablis crafted in partnership with Château du Val de Mercy.

Delfino Mayfair

Established in 1953, the year of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, Delfino Mayfair has been a timeless icon of the Mount Street Neighbourhood ever since. Think old-school Italian with a side of Mayfair glamour. Signature classics like their Tagliatelle al Tartufo, veal Milanese, and wood-fired Margherita pizzas have earned them a loyal following, while the tiramisu has become something of local legend. Make sure to book, especially if you are visiting for lunch—it’s always busy with businesspeople looking for a low-key spot to escape the office.

The Connaught Bar

Named World’s Best Bar in 2020 and 2021 and Best Bar in Europe three years running, The Connaught Bar sets the gold standard in Mount Street Neighbourhood and beyond. At its heart is the signature martini trolley: an elegant ritual where cocktails are stirred tableside by white-gloved bartenders. Head bartender Ago Perrone leads one of the finest teams in London, and keeps the rest of the drinks menu feeling experimental and world-leading. Pick a corner table, settle in and feel like you’ve been whisked away into a more glamorous era.

The Audley Public House

Located on the corner of Mount Street and South Audley Street, The Audley Public House is not your average boozer. Expect a well-kept selection of draught beers and ciders in a cosy, but oh-so-chic pub setting. Behind the bar, a chalkboard menu lists comforting British classics, from sausage rolls to Scotch eggs and on Sunday they serve up one of the best roast dinners in town. The punters as varied as the neighbourhood itself—local residents, art-world insiders and businessmen can be found spilling out on the street enjoying a pint after work. Cheers.

Wine Bar

Underground, but no longer a secret, you can find Wine Bar tucked downstairs under Farm Shop, the neighbourhood’s popular deli. With 200 bottles on the list - including their own Maid of Bruton - and 40 available by the glass, it’s as suited to a spontaneous midweek pour as it is to a special occasion. The food is good too. Salami is sliced to order, cheese served straight from the counter, and rotisserie chicken carved daily.

Mount Street Gardens

Grab a coffee from Hideaway, choose a bench and settle in.

Bond Street may be London’s most recognised destination for designer shopping, but Mount Street offers something more special. Brands like Goyard, Toteme, Ermenegildo Zegna, Marni, Valextra, and Métier have all chosen Mount Street for its laid-back elegance and architectural charm. Spend a morning popping in and out of each store, not forgetting to visit The Row, where you can catch a glimpse of Jai Singh’s Sky, the stunning light installation by James Turrell.
