Today we spent the morning strolling through the north part of Mayfair.
We walked through Grosvenor Square and eventually to Mercato Mayfair, what is described as a hip market in Mayfair. It is in a deconsecrated church and now houses small niche eateries over two levels and about 3 bars.
We chose to have a couple of Boa buns and a serve of dumplings between us for lunch, it was all delicious.
Deb got a gelato as we left.
From there we walked to Brown Hart Gardens. These gardens are somewhat unique, as they are built by design on top of a working electric power substation.
This was done to appease local residents when the local council allowed the substation to be built on their park back in 1903. 
It was designed by Charles Peach who went on to design the Centre Court at Wimbledon. The rules of the Gardens reflect the conservative nature of the residents of 1903.
We tried to have a look in the Ukrainian Catholic Church across the road from Brown Hart Gardens, but it was locked up. It was built 1891 as The Kings Weigh House Chapel. Most of the buildings in the area appear to have been built in the mid to late 19th century.
Oxford St always seems to be busy, well any time after 11am on weekends and 8:45am on weekdays until late. It just seems to be a people magnet.
We walked back to our flat and passed by Goyard’s Mayfair shop. There has been a queue outside this shop every time we have passed by, we have no idea, other than people after their exclusive handbags, etc.
We got to our street and there was a long queue of women outside a cafe, it looked as though they were all picking up “sample” bags or something. Very odd.
We watched a bit of the Wimbledon tennis and worked out and booked our train ride to Cambridge on Thursday. We have also arranged to drop 1 bag off at the hotel we spend our last 2 nights in London at to make it easier for us going to Cambridge and back. A productive afternoon.
