Bond Street Escorts

Bond Street is less a neighbourhood than a corridor: a roughly half-mile stretch running from Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north, divided in the middle into Old Bond Street and New Bond Street. The whole length contains the most concentrated luxury retail in the city. Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgari, Graff, Harry Winston, Asprey, Smythson, Loro Piana, Hermès and most of the haute-couture and haute-joaillerie houses keep their London flagships within a few hundred yards of each other. For Her Secret Society’s clients, the Bond Street booking is distinct from the rest of Mayfair: it is generally daytime, often shopping-centred, and frequently extends into a dinner-and-suite arrangement at one of the surrounding hotels.

The hotels are the same cluster that defines the rest of Mayfair, which is the point. Claridge’s, Brown’s and The Connaught are all within five minutes’ walk of either Bond Street tube or the centre of New Bond Street; the Beaumont is two blocks west, and the Westbury Mayfair sits directly on Conduit Street one block south of New Bond Street. For shopping-day bookings, our companions are familiar with the personal-shopping teams at the principal flagships, and arrangements can be made for private viewings at Sotheby’s (whose New Bond Street rooms regularly host the most significant fine-art and jewellery auctions in Europe) or at any of the major jewellers’ VIP rooms.

The dining is essentially the Mayfair dining cluster, which is among the deepest in the world. Sketch on Conduit Street remains the destination booking; Cecconi’s on Burlington Gardens is the long-standing all-day Mayfair Italian; Scott’s on Mount Street is the seafood institution; Park Chinois on Berkeley Street covers the theatrical late evening. Hide on Piccadilly, two minutes south of Old Bond Street, is one of the most reliable Michelin-tier dinners in the immediate area. The Sotheby’s Café on New Bond Street itself handles the working lunch.

After-dinner Mayfair takes over from there. The private members’ clubs of 5 Hertford Street, Annabel’s on Berkeley Square, Oswald’s and Loulou’s sit within a five-minute walk of the southern end of Bond Street, and our companions are routinely invited as plus-ones to evenings that extend into the small hours.

For incall and outcall arrangements within W1S and the surrounding Mayfair postcodes, see the practical detail on the Mayfair page; in operational terms the Bond Street booking is a Mayfair booking. The distinction is the angle of the day: shopping, gallery viewings, daytime auctions and the slow shift into a long evening at the same set of hotels.

The adjacency is essentially central London. Mayfair encompasses Bond Street geographically; Marylebone sits north across Oxford Street; Soho is two streets east; Fitzrovia lies north-east. Everything anyone might want in central London is within ten minutes’ walk.
