- topicseed 5y agoTo buy jewellery, bags, and watches?
- FDSGSG 5y agoOr to visit some of the excellent art galleries? Or to eat at some of the wonderful restaurants within a couple of blocks distance?
- twic 5y agoFirst the Cinnabon, now the bitcoin ATM. Truly, it is a ghost town now.
- jleahy 5y agoCinnabon is gone?!
- zhte415 5y agoA surprisingly large number of hedge funds are based around Bond Street.

- traceroute66 5y ago> I don't know why anyone would go to Bond Street now. At least there won't be so many Russian tarts there anymore. ;-)
- nindalf 5y agoI don’t think I’ve ever seen a tart or a drug dealer in these areas but I’m assured that they exist. Time to book an eye appointment I guess.
- traceroute66 5y agoFor clarity, the generally accepted London definition would include trophy wives. Ladies who lunch might be the more polite term, but that generally implies well-dressed which regrettably is not the case amongst the Russian Nouveau Riche.
- FDSGSG 5y agoThere will be more, not less. Everyone who was previously splitting their time between London and Russia will now live full time in London. Many Russians will also be applying for visas right about now, many of them will be granted.
- nindalf 5y agoUniqlo near the Bond Street station is pretty great. And the Disney store is great for gifts for youngsters. And I like the Wasabi nearby. Love the Wafflemeister too, often stopped there. Also there’s a great place inside Bond Street station that fixes watches. Found that invaluable when I needed it. Like damn, I find it hilarious that HMV and this ATM were singlehandedly holding up the Bond Street station experience for you.
