About Bond Street

Bond Street in the West End of London links Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north. Since the 18th century the street has housed many prestigious and upmarket fashion retailers. The southern section is Old Bond Street and the longer northern section New Bond Street, a distinction not generally made in everyday usage.

What do you think you turn up to Bond Street station, which is on Bond Street? You see it's called James Bond Street. You're like, it must be somewhere else. That's a bad example.
