In your area: five W1 addresses, each a short cab ride from the next

Mayfair is the whole district on one spread, from Claridge's on Brook Street to The Ritz on Piccadilly. Mount Street is the terracotta stretch from The Connaught to the garden gates, and the street this magazine returns to most. Park Lane is for suites with the park beyond the glass, from The Dorchester up to Grosvenor House.

Bond Street belongs to shoppers and to anyone stepping off the Elizabeth line, with The Westbury on the doorstep and Hotel Café Royal a short stroll away. Grosvenor Square keeps the working week in W1K: long meetings, a garden that empties after dark and The Biltmore overlooking the lawns.

The five pages are a map, not a fence. Hotels and homes in Marylebone, St James's, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Soho or anywhere else inside Zones 1 and 2 are reached with travel already inside the rate. Further out, Bella prices the taxi both ways and you see the total first, while hotels out at Heathrow and Gatwick carry a three hour floor, journey included. Every figure sits on the rates page.

From Bella's confirmation, most W1 evenings have your companion knocking inside sixty minutes, sooner still when one of the three Mayfair residents is free. Booking for later in the week? She arrives at the minute you name. Start with The Women if you would like to choose first.
