Stephen Walter - Mayfair & St James's - courtesy of TAG Fine Arts

As a special commission from Shapero Modern, Stephen Walter has created a pictorial map of Mayfair & St James's.

"I walked every inch of both Mayfair and St James’s, marking off every road and alleyway in the area. The most striking architectural features that I noticed were the doors, windows and lamps that adorn many of the grand London Town houses."

Historical events are noted, such as the Millennium Hotel on Grosvenor Square, and the infamous poising of Litvenenko in 2006. The map shows the routes of the new Crossrail tunnels and the Victoria and Jubilee Lines as well as the route of King Scholars Pond Sewer that now ghosts the course of the old Tyburn River.
