Shepherd Market: A Mayfair village frozen in time

Set just off busy Piccadilly, down the road from Hyde Park and a stone’s throw from Green Park station, Shepherd Market couldn’t be much more central. But you wouldn’t know it.

Its alleyways, cobbled streets and collection of independent shops and businesses mean it has retained its village feel while the rest of Mayfair has grown around it.
