Flemings Mayfair is a boutique hotel located in Mayfair, London.
In 1851, Robert Fleming owned and ran a lodging house at number 10 Half Moon Street (believed to have originated in 1730). Robert Fleming started running what he called a 'private hotel' in 1855, at 9 & 10 Half Moon Street [1]
From 1855 to 1857, George Hudson, MP for Sunderland, owned apartments in the hotel. Hudson, famed as the 'Railway King', was a fraudster who had his downfall when he was discovered to have falsified railway company share prices. He stayed at Flemings when it was not possible for him to be arrested due to his appointment as MP [2]
In 1964, Agatha Christie published At Bertram's Hotel , about an up-market hotel which serves as the home base for a sophisticated criminal gang. Christie's official biography claims Flemings as the model for the eponymous hotel, based on correspondence between Christie and her literary agent Edmund Cork. [3]
7, 8 and 9-12 Half Moon Street were originally Georgian townhouses and have been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since March 1980. [4] [5] The rear of the hotel at 39-42 Clarges Street was a separate hotel before the war, and is also listed Grade II. [6]

Hill Street is a street in Mayfair, London, which runs south-west, then west, from Berkeley Square to Deanery Street, a short approach way from Park Lane. It was developed from farmland in the 18th century. Travelling one block to the east and south sees a fall of about three metres, whereas in the other direction the land rises gradually across six main blocks to beyond the north of Marble Arch. Hill Street's homes gained fashionable status from the outset: grand townhouses seeing use, at first, as seasonal lettings (rentals) and/or longer-term London homes of nobility — later, of other wealthy capitalists as much. Twenty-two, approximately half of its town houses, are listed. Along its course, only Audley Square House departs from townhouse-sized frontage, yet this shares in the street's predominant form of domestic architecture, Georgian neo-classical. Hill Street's public house is the oldest surviving one in Mayfair.
