Spring in Mayfair

What’s on this season: spring’s unmissable Mayfair moments

Enjoy the daffodils in St James’s Park
Mayfair is lucky to be home to three of London’s eight Royal Parks, which are collectively planted with over a million daffodil bulbs each year. Strolling in St James’s Park – just south of our home on Piccadilly – is one of the true joys of the capital during the months of April and May, where a seemingly never-ending carpet of daffodils is guaranteed to raise a smile (and fill your camera roll). While you’re there, don’t forget to visit the park’s resident pelicans who can usually be seen putting on a charming display next to Duck Pond Cottage.

Raise a glass to our new King at Mayfair’s Coronation Garden Party
To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, Grosvenor Square is hosting a two-day garden party on 6th and 7th May. This family-friendly event will see the iconic square transformed into a garden wonderland, with the ceremony shown on a big screen, comfy deckchairs to sink into for the main event, and of course lots of delicious food and fizz to toast the new King.

Listen to The Gesualdo Six at St James’s Church
St James’s Church always has an extensive programme of events, and this spring is no exception. Vocal group The Gesualdo Six are performing a special spring-themed concert to welcome in the new season on Thursday 11th May, which is running as part of the church’s Classical Programme.

Take in ‘Souls Grown Deep like the Rivers’ at the Royal Academy

Discover the newest floor at Fortnum & Mason
