Rent here is about 272% above the City of Westminster middle.
Modelled estimate for this area, not a listing or a valuation.
The strongest measurements here are human scale (10.0/10), community spaces (10.0/10) and social infrastructure (10.0/10) — human scale is the highest single reading on the page.
The weakest are privacy (4.0/10), green spaces (4.3/10) and natural features (6.1/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — privacy matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Mayfair gives up ground against better-scoring areas.
Green & air covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Mayfair scores 4.5/10 here, which struggles.
Underneath it: green spaces 4.3, environmental quality 7.8 and natural features 6.1, each out of 10. The gap between environmental quality and green spaces is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Comfort & safety covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. Mayfair scores 6.3/10 here, which is unremarkable.
Underneath it: spatial comfort 7.0, privacy 4.0, human scale 10.0, street life 9.3 and climate comfort 7.2. The gap between human scale and privacy is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Homes & buildings covers the buildings themselves: their condition, design and upkeep. Mayfair scores 8.7/10 here, which stands out.
Underneath it: building condition 8.0, architectural quality 7.0 and upkeep 9.0. The gap between upkeep and architectural quality is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Shops & services covers the shared side of a place — meeting spots, services, culture and safety. Mayfair scores 9.5/10 here, which stands out.
Underneath it: community spaces 10.0, social infrastructure 10.0, cultural life 10.0, civic governance 8.3 and public safety 7.8. The gap between community spaces and public safety is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Public safety and civic governance are measured at national level rather than street by street, so those two read the same across every area in United Kingdom — treat them as background conditions, not a verdict on this particular block.
Getting around covers how easily you get out of the area and reach what you need. Mayfair scores 8.1/10 here, which does well.
Underneath it: transit access 8.1 and road connectivity 9.1.
Scores are only useful next to what you actually want from a place. Pulling out the measurements that tend to decide it:
Street life — how much activity the imagery shows on the street itself — scores 9.3/10, with cultural life at 10.0/10, high for a residential area.
Transit access scores 8.1/10, above average for public transport options.
Each HoodEx analysis of Mayfair reads satellite and street-level imagery for the area and scores the five categories above; where there is more than one, the page shows the average.
Scores are a starting point, not a substitute for standing on the street. They are consistent — every area is measured the same way, so comparing two of them is meaningful — but they cannot tell you about a noisy neighbour, a good landlord or a bad bus route. People who have lived here can add that sort of detail on this page.

Mayfair scores 7.4/10 overall, which is good. Its case rests on shops & services (9.5/10); green & air (4.5/10) is the weak point to check before committing.
Walkability has not been scored for Mayfair yet, but transit access scores 8.1/10. Until walkability itself is scored, those are the closest measures available.
Public safety scores 7.8/10, but that figure is national for United Kingdom rather than specific to these streets — HoodEx measures safety at country level. For street-level detail, people who live there are the better source.
