semi-ambivalent Posted June 9, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted June 9, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can someone here tell me roughly where the Leica, Mayfair store is in relation to some central London landmarks? The family is visiting London & Co. and I thought I'd drop in for a looksee. Is it walkable from, say, Westminster Abbey? (We've been given a hotel recommendation but can't recall the name right now. I am open to more suggestions.) Â Looking forward to this trip, s-a Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted June 9, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted June 9, 2014 It is just off Berkeley Square (where a nightingale sang) and the closest tube station is Green Park. Piccadilly Circus is not far away. The best known hotel nearby is the Ritz! From Westminster Abbey it is a 20-30 minute walk (at a guess - I've never done it) along Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall, Haymarket, Piccadilly, and then Berkeley Street and Berkeley Square to Bruton Place. Â PS note that there are two Leica premises opposite each other: the showroom/shop, and the service centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted June 11, 2014 Share #9 Â Posted June 11, 2014 Indeed, just continue along Pall Mall instead of going up Haymarket. Caplan's is just before you get to St James Street. Then go up St James Street (stopping off for a tasting at Berry Bros & Rudd, classy wine merchant) to Piccadilly again: left then right up Berkeley Street. St James doesn't figure on the Monopoly board, but it's probably worth more than Mayfair! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
