Mount Street is an east–west, quite narrow, archetypal street in the Mayfair district of the City of Westminster, London fronted by many mid-rise buildings, mostly of a narrow frontage. The sides of two very grand hotels flank part of either end of the street. Small, high-end property businesses, investment funds and accountancy businesses punctuate the buildings as well as a row of traditional businesses and conversion-style mansion block apartments or, more generally, authentic such homes.
Mount Street runs from Park Lane in the west to Davies Street in the east. It is crossed by Park Street in the east and South Audley Street midway. On the south side Rex and Balfour Places branch off. In the east it leads to Berkeley Square and Carlos Place, Mount Street Mews and Carpenter Street branch off.
A notable area has been set aside to the south of the middle section, a canopy-covered public lawn with benches, Mount Street Gardens.
