Where it begins

Creativity inside and out

45 Park Lane was shaped by two of the twentieth century's defining design minds: Walter Gropius, who founded the Bauhaus, and Thierry Despont, who reimagined the building in Art Deco style. That lineage makes it the natural starting point for a tour through Mayfair's most compelling architecture, tracing secluded streets and tree-lined squares most visitors never find.

Making Mayfair is curated by Vicky Richardson BA (Arch) MA FRIBA, former Head of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts, honorary fellow of RIBA and Director of Pick Up Architecture.
