The area was first developed in the 1720s as part of Grosvenor’s creation of Mayfair and the expansion of London westwards.

The area has always been characterised by a mix of uses and has constantly evolved as a distinctive area that connects Oxford Street, New Bond Street and Mayfair, with accessibility to the area further improved by the opening of the Elizabeth Line Bond Street station in October 2022.
