46 Berkeley Square is a house on Berkeley Square in the Mayfair district of London, England. The house was used as offices, including the London headquarters of the Chase Manhattan Bank, for several decades. It has been the site of the private member's club Annabel's since 2018. It was built in 1744–50 as part of a pair of town houses with No. 45; the two houses are jointly listed listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England. The architect is believed to have been Henry Flitcroft. 46 Berkeley Square was the town residence of the Earl of Darnley, with their country residence Cobbham Hall near Gravesend in Kent. It was subsequently the London residence of the Mildmay family.The house was used as offices from 1948. It became the London headquarters for the Chase Manhattan Bank. No. 46 was put up for auction in October 1967 along with its mews house, 46 Hays Mews. The house was sold in June 1968, with a value £330,000 (equivalent to £6,088,641 in 2021) being quoted for the remaining 70 years of the lease. It was known as Ralli House in the 1970s and hosted lunches celebrating the Bowater-Ralli Fellowship in Surgery.The freehold to 45 and 46 Berkeley Square is owned by the Berkeley Square Holdings Group. The group is owned by the President of the United Arab Emirates and is registered in the tax haven of the British Virgin Islands.46 Berkeley Square has been occupied by the private member's club Annabel's since 2018. Annabel's relocated to No. 46 from No. 44 Berkeley Square, where it had been founded by Mark Birley in 1963. In 2007 Birley sold Annabel's and his four other clubs to the businessman Richard Caring. Caring spent £55 million refurbishing No. 46, and Annabel's reopened there in 2018. The club occupies 26,000 sq ft of No. 46 with various restaurants, bars, private dining rooms and a nightclub. A spa is located in the mews house. The interiors were redesigned and decorated by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.

Annabel's is a private members club in Mayfair, London, located at 46 Berkeley Square. Before the club moved to its new location in 2018, Annabel's was previously located at 44 Berkeley Square, London. It was founded by entrepreneur Mark Birley and named after Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart, then his wife. Annabel's was founded in 1963 after Birley's friend John Aspinall decided that they needed somewhere to party after an evening's gambling. As a result, Birley turned the basement of Aspinall's casino, the Clermont Club, into a nightclub, and named it after his then-wife, Annabel, who went on to marry Birley's friend, Sir James Goldsmith. In 2018, Annabel's moved to a new location, a Grade I listed Georgian mansion house at 46 Berkeley Square. Set across 26,000 square feet and positioned just two doors down from where its original location first opened in 1963, Annabel's is an all-day and all-night private Members’ Club. Annabel's was a members-only nightclub. In 2003, Queen Elizabeth II visited the club, and it is thought to be the only nightclub that she has ever visited.In an interview on The Merv Griffin Show (broadcast 2 November 1981) Karen Carpenter states that she met Olivia Newton-John there in 1971 and they formed a life-long friendship until her death on 4 February 1983. Entertainers who have performed there include Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Ross, Bryan Ferry and Lady Gaga.

50 Berkeley Square is a reportedly haunted townhouse on Berkeley Square in Mayfair, Central London. In the late 19th century it became known as one of the most haunted houses in London, with its attic room said to be haunted by the spirit of a young woman who had committed suicide there. Researchers have since suggested that the stories may have derived from the odd behaviour of house's occupant, Thomas Myers, who slept during the day and made unusual sounds in the house at night. It has also been noted that many of the stories about the house were exaggerated or invented by later writers about its ghosts.

The Footman is a public house in Charles Street, Mayfair, long famous for its sign, which used to read, in full, I am the only Running Footman. At 24 characters, this was the longest pub name in London until modern pubs were created with fanciful names such as The Ferret and Firkin in the Balloon up the Creek. Footmen were originally employed to run ahead of a carriage to ensure the way was clear. As roads got better and clearer the demand for their services fell away and many were re-employed as household servants. One footman instead bought the tavern, then called the Running Horse, and renamed it after himself.The establishment was first built in 1749 and rebuilt in the 1930s.The pub is believed to have been the inspiration for the Junior Ganymede Club, a fictional club in P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories. It is a significant location in Martha Grimes's 1986 mystery novel I Am the Only Running Footman, which takes its title from the pub.

Lansdowne House now 9 Fitzmaurice Place is the remaining part of a building to the south of Berkeley Square in central London, England, not to be confused with 57 Berkeley Square – opposite – a much later quadrilateral building which takes its name as an extra line of address. The name was for two decades Shelb(o)urne House, then its title matched its owning family's elevation to a higher peerage in 1784. It was frequently let, as a whole, to families of very high wealth or income. Some of its 18th-century interiors, among the best in London, were taken elsewhere. It was occupied by three British prime ministers, William Waldorf Astor, 1st Viscount Astor, widely believed to be the richest man in America at the time of his tenancy (1891–1893) and by Harry Gordon Selfridge in the 1920s. The owning family sold the property in 1929, two years after the death of the 5th Marquess, a prominent government frontbencher (cabinet minister). The local authority had built an approach road in 1931 which saw the loss of approximately half of the rooms of its greater wing; it is today one of two buildings which open onto Fitzmaurice Place but is known as 9 Fitzmaurice Place. The surviving extent was granted Grade II* Listed Building status in 1970.

Mayfair is an affluent area in the West End of London towards the eastern edge of Hyde Park, in the City of Westminster, between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Park Lane. It is one of the most expensive districts in the world.The area was originally part of the manor of Eia and remained largely rural until the early 18th century. It became well known for the annual "May Fair" that took place from 1686 to 1764 in what is now Shepherd Market. Over the years, the fair grew increasingly downmarket and unpleasant, and it became a public nuisance. The Grosvenor family (who became Dukes of Westminster) acquired the land through marriage and began to develop it under the direction of Thomas Barlow. The work included Hanover Square, Berkeley Square and Grosvenor Square, which were surrounded by high-quality houses, and St George's Hanover Square Church. By the end of the 18th century, most of Mayfair was built on with upper-class housing; unlike some nearby areas of London, it has never lost its affluent status. The decline of the British aristocracy in the early 20th century led to the area becoming more commercial, with many houses converted into offices for corporate headquarters and various embassies. Mayfair retains a substantial quantity of high-end residential property, upmarket shops and restaurants, and luxury hotels along Piccadilly and Park Lane. Its prestigious status has been commemorated by being the most expensive property square on the London Monopoly board.

Bourdon House is a Grade II* listed building in Mayfair, London, at the junction of Davies Street and Bourdon Street. The house is believed to be named after Captain William Bourdon, described as the Justice of the Peace for Middlesex, though this name does not appear in any contemporary military records. It was surveyed by Thomas Barlow, and constructed between 1723 and 1725. The house was extended northwards around 1737. There were originally two stories and an attic, with a further storey added around 1760. Much of the house's interior dates from this period.Bourdon lived in the house until 1727, after which it was occupied by Bacon Morris, Governor of the Landguard Fort, Suffolk. The politician and officer Timothy Caswall lived in Bourdon House from 1764 to 1767, then from 1772 until his death in 1802. Subsequently, his daughter lived there until her death in 1830.The house was renovated in the 1860s and 1870s, including the addition of a fourth storey. A wing to the east of the premises was constructed in the early 20th century. The last private residents were Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster, who lived there from 1917 until his death in 1953, and his fourth wife, Anne Grosvenor, Duchess of Westminster who moved out in 1957. The Duke held a particular affinity for the house, which he preferred as a residence over Grosvenor House. Following the Duchess' departure, it became used for commercial purposes, initially as an antique shop.The property was listed in 1958. As of 2023, the flagship branch of the luxury clothing and accessories retailer Dunhill is based here.
