Conduit Street is a street in Mayfair, London. It connects Bond Street to Regent Street.[1]

History

The street was first developed in the early 18th century on the Conduit Mead Estate, which the Corporation of London had owned since the 15th century; it was a popular place for upper-class Londoners to socialise.[1][2] Most properties have since been demolished and rebuilt, but a handful have survived.[1]

The MP Charles James Fox was born on Conduit Street in 1749.[1]
