Mayfair West is located on plot No. 258 of Langlaagte farm, where Sir Joseph Robinson, 1st Baronet bought mineral rights in 1886. Government surveyor M.C. Vos surveyed it and the first parcel was sold on 24 May 1896. Robinson built his mining headquarters there, including the first office building on what was previously open veld. Nearby Langerman Street is named after his general manager, who steered the company away from participating in the ill-fated Johannesburg Reform Committee. The suburb may be named after the London suburb of Mayfair. And Naseem Uthmaan Miller Born 20 February 1997 once lived here.
