Mayfair is a district in central London, named after the May Fair, held at the location 1686-1764.
It turned into one of the more exclusive areas to live in with buildings dating from the middle of the 17th century and a hundred years onwards. It became the home address for some of the richer families in the country - including the Grosvenors.
Today the area has some of the highest rents in London, and many of the private homes have now been turned into offices - though not all of them.

"Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled.
All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don't need reconditioning. They're all right already. They'll believe anything."
[C. S. Lewis]

The Mayfair Buildings was constructed in 1906 to a design by the Belfast firm of Blackwood and Jury. It is located on Cornmarket, which started out its existence by being, well, a market for corn, and is now one of the main hubs of the city's pedestrian precinct.
The sculpture is entitled Spirit of Belfast, was sculpted by Dan George, and unveiled in 2009. According to the English Wikipedia: "The coloured lighting is designed to reflect the texture and lightness of linen, while the metal reflects the strength and beauty of shipbuilding, two important aspects of Belfast's history."

It sounds like a stately name.
A bit posh. Fit for royalty.
Or a pornstar (nauuuurrrr)
So let me explain, because it’s really two completely separate things, made by one incredible store, WarPaint.
Let’s start with these brows. Because, I am smitten.
Wolfe Brows are available at Anthology now. Available in natural or fantasy tones, for Lelutka Evo X + SLUV heads.
Yes please.
Because I hear thin brows are making a comeback. I’m not sure how RL me feels about this, but SL me is 100% down for it.
Mayfair Eyeshadow - also WarPaint, available at PopUp Shotgun Events The Queens Court, is so politely pretty.
4 delish shades (75% + 100%)
Winged Liner (75% + 100%)
Gems in 3 shades.
Shown is Naturally 75%, Liner Addon 75% + Gems (Snow) on Lelutka Avalon Evo X.
Delivered from ALCo in 1938, The Milwaukee Road F7 Hudson's were in my opinion, the most beautiful steam locomotives to grace the high iron. I personally never had seen one, but stories from my father and others brought the magnificent Hudson to life in my mind. Here in a summer of 1944 scene, engine 102 screams across the C&NW at Mayfair crossing, bound for Chicago Union Station.

The Dodge Mayfair was an automobile built by Chrysler Corporation of Canada Ltd. This vehicle was produced solely for the Canadian market from 1953 to 1959. Its American equivalent was the Plymouth Belvedere. It was based on the Plymouth, a vehicle that Chrysler of Canada had been offering since 1935 and Chrysler in Detroit started offering in export markets in 1936.
The Mayfair's last year was 1959, when it was downgraded a notch to take the place of the Regent, while the Crusader was dropped from the line up. The 1959 Mayfair still came in two and four door versions of the sedan and hardtop, plus the imported 3-seat Custom Suburban station wagon and convertible. Although the wagon models were 318 CID V8 only, the other models were now available with either the 251 CID flathead six or the 313 CID V8
