@ SilkTork: - I am steadily working my way round my Monopoly board with the aim of improving all articles on it, so this is on my radar. If I don't get to it first, maybe Dr. Blofeld can give it a go. Or possibly Scott as he's local. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:02, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I made some minor edits that you may want to look at in history to ensure you agree. I was going to remove some of the duplicate links as well, but thought I'd mention it here first.
Great job! It's nice to bring to life the scene of some of my favorite period books and films!– CaroleHenson ( talk) 18:53, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

What's the point of this edit, which has now been made by an anon IP editor three times in succession? The original text looks fine to me. Martinevans123 ( talk) 15:03, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

There was a reason the article didn't have an infobox, but I can't remember what. I think it was due to it sandwiching images further down and making a mess. Anyway, I think it should have:
Anything else? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:00, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
Coming late to the punch up- Mayfair is similar to Bloomsbury which has a very pretty infobox. The map however leaves something to be desired but is consistent with similar articles. I have left myself a few notes on wikicartography in my user-page that may be useful or entertaining- as the UK place infobox may not have caught up with infobox school.
may be what you were thinking about — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClemRutter ( talk • contribs) 16:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
Should we add an infobox after this discussion above, and per previous edit. 112.204.206.165 ( talk) 05:22, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Here is a mockup of an infobox for the article. Comments welcome. I notice that the "Police", "Fire" and "Ambulance" fields are automatically populated, which is actually one of my objections - how is that relevant to the article. But that's a discussion for the template itself. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
