Every year, millions of visitors flock to London to enjoy everything this famous city has to offer, including architecture, history, culture, shopping and gastronomy. And while the bustling streets surrounding Oxford Circus certainly offer a wealth of activities, those with a taste for the finer things head to the Bond Street area for an altogether more authentic and luxurious experience.

Fantastic things to do around Bond Street include high-end luxury shopping, sampling the delights of both British and international cuisine in fine restaurants and classic English public houses, and wandering the streets of this historic, stunning, affluent London neighbourhood.

Getting to know Bond Street

Bond Street is a must-see part of central London for those who enjoy fine dining and upmarket shopping. Originally, Bond Street was an actual thoroughfare but, nowadays, it is in fact two streets: New Bond Street, which starts at Oxford Street (close to Bond Street Tube station), which then leads to Old Bond Street, which finishes in Piccadilly.

Wandering around the beautiful area of Bond Street is a great activity in itself. But if you want to add some extra fun into your outing, we suggest partaking in some shopping, as well as popping into one of Bond Street’s fantastic restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes. Or simply relaxing in one of the area's pretty green gardens.

With that in mind, let us guide you through our recommendations for top things to do around Bond Street. We’ll show you where to shop, eat and drink, as you enjoy everything on offer at one of London’s premier destinations.
