Bond Street

“Bond Street fascinated her…its flags flying; its shops; no splash; no glitter…” (pg. 11)

Bond Street is a famous thoroughfare located in London’s West End. Since its establishment in 1700, Bond Street has become widely renowned for its elegant and luxurious shops and restaurants. Woolf references this London location because of its direct relation to Clarissa as well as several other women characters in the story. The women of this era were often concerned with fashion and self image.
