As all those who have played Monopoly – the original London version that is – will know, Mayfair is one of the most valuable and desirable properties on the board. It had a reputation as an area which mainly housed wealthy retirees and aristocrats.
However, over the past few years, things have changed. Now almost sixty percent of Mayfair’s population is under forty-five, and is a favourite part of town for wealthy business owners, bankers and others from the business world.
Another change in the demographic of Mayfair’s population has been the influx of young people from overseas. This new population is looking to Mayfair to provide them with benefits that make it an attractive place to live. And Mayfair is providing those benefits.
