Bond Street
Bond Street is a street in the West End of London, connecting Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north. The street, consisting of two sections, has been a popular shopping area since the 18th century and is the home of many fashion outlets that sell prestigious and expensive items. The southern section is known as Old Bond Street and the longer northern section is known as New Bond Street—this distinction, however, is not generally made in everyday usage.
The street was originally fields surrounding Clarendon House on Piccadilly, which were redeveloped by Sir Thomas Bond. It transformed to a built up area in the 1720s, and by the end of the century had become a popular place for the upper class living in Mayfair to socialise. This led to prestigious and expensive shops being established along the street. The street declined as a centre of social activity in the 19th century, but it has held its reputation as a fashionable place for retail, and is home to the auction houses Sotheby's and Bonhams (formerly Phillips) and the department stores Fenwick and Tiffany's. It is one of the most expensive and sought after strips of real estate in Europe.
==Geography==
Bond Street is the only street that runs between Oxford Street and Piccadilly. Old Bond Street is at the southern end between Piccadilly and Burlington Gardens. The northern section, New Bond Street, extends as far as Oxford Street. The whole street combined is around long.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1, Vere Street to 46, Old Bond Street )〕 The street is narrow, and many of the shops along its front are less than wide.
The nearest tube stations are Green Park on Piccadilly, and Bond Street station on Oxford Street. Despite its name, the station does not directly connect to either New or Old Bond Street. No bus routes use the street, though the C2 service crosses New Bond Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Central London Bus Map )〕 Part of New Bond Street is classified B406; the remainder and all of Old Bond Street has no number. New Bond Street is pedestrianised between Grafton Street and Clifford Street to prevent through traffic and to stop the road being used as a rat run.
