London, where Bond Street went from third to fourth place in the rankings, is still struggling to recover from the pandemic, even though younger luxury buyers have helped boost sales lately. The resilience of the area during the pandemic recession, together with the strength of the US dollar, helped the corridor to top the list of business districts around the world from the second level of a ranking drawn up before the arrival of Covid.
