Attractions Near Bond Street

Bond Street is a major London thoroughfare that runs through Mayfair from Piccadilly northwards toward Oxford Street. Technically, "Bond Street" does not exist, as the road is made up of New Bond Street and Old Bond Street.
The street is principally known as an upmarket shopping district, though in recent years Bond Street has seen competition from Sloane Street in this area.

There is much to see and do near Bond Street, apart from the multitude of shopping options, of course. First of all, the rather unique statue of FDR and Winston Churchill, called 'Allies', is on Bond Street, depicting the two icons of world power engaged in conversation on a bench. Also nearby is the world-famous Claridge's Hotel, and the Handel House museum, which was home to two very different musical geniuses, the composer Handel and guitar legend Jimi Hendrix.

Also, the Wallace Collection is situated near to Bond Street, which has some fine collections including French paintings and armour. Finally, the grand US embassy is close too, it being located on Grosvenor Square.
