NEW BOND STREET

New Bond Street is one of London’s most iconic and luxurious streets, located in the exclusive Mayfair district. This world-famous street, stretching just over half a mile from Oxford Street to Piccadilly, is the epitome of elegance and sophistication. It’s divided into two sections: New Bond Street, which begins at Oxford Street and extends southwards, and its continuation, Old Bond Street, which connects to Piccadilly. Together, they form one of the most prestigious shopping destinations on the planet.

History of New Bond Street
New Bond Street was first laid out in the early 18th century as a residential area for London’s wealthy elite. By the mid-1700s, it had evolved into a fashionable destination for high society, filled with stylish shops, galleries, and upscale businesses. Over time, its reputation for luxury grew, and it became the go-to street for aristocrats, royals, and celebrities seeking the finest in fashion, art, and jewelry. The street’s name has become synonymous with high-end retail and has maintained its elite status for more than 300 years.
