Bond Street, Commercial street in Westminster, England

Bond Street runs about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from Piccadilly to Oxford Street, with Old Bond Street at the southern end and the longer New Bond Street to the north. Many shop frontages are less than 20 feet (6 m) wide. The stretch between Grafton Street and Clifford Street is pedestrianised, and the Royal Arcade links Old Bond Street with Albemarle Street.

Sir Thomas Bond transformed fields around Clarendon House into a residential district in the 17th century. Luxury shops and art dealers moved in during the 18th and 19th centuries, shaping the character of the street that remains today.

The name comes from Sir Thomas Bond, who developed the area in the 17th century. Today, flagship stores of international fashion brands line up beside jewelers displaying diamonds and precious stones in their windows.

New Bond Street is pedestrianised between Grafton Street and Clifford Street, so through traffic is kept out of that stretch. No buses run along the street, though the 22 service crosses New Bond Street. Bond Street station on Oxford Street sits about 100 metres west of New Bond Street and does not connect directly to either section.

Excavations beneath the street brought Roman artifacts to light, pointing to early settlements in this part of London. These finds show that people lived and traded here nearly 2000 years ago.
