Regent Street was built in the 1820´s and from the very beginning has always been known for its ´in vogue´ shops, boasting some of the worlds´ most desirable designers and brands. Owned by the Crown Estate, with its decadent buildings, clean pavements, exclusive retailers and clientele, Regent Street is a prime focus for shops and retailers in the CBD.
Forming a border between plush Mayfair and chic & trendy Soho, Regent Street is home to Liberty of London Department Store, Dickens and Jones, GAP Kids, Boots Pharmacy, FCUK, Hugo Boss, Esprit and many many more clothing and retail shops. The architecture along Regent Street is exquisite with each and every shop front looking as classy as the next. The world famous Bond Street is only a few minutes walk away offering upmarket shops.
A highlight for one and all on this window shopping haven is Hamleys. This world renowned toy store is a playground for kids of all ages with 6 floors of toys, games, pedal cars, miniature railway trains, oversized cartoon and animation characters, toy theatres, live and interactive games and much, much more! MORE???? Oh yes! What was once the biggest toy store in the world, Hamleys on Regent Street has become as much a London sightseeing ´must visit´ as Buckingham Palace or The London Eye. This magical store with its fairytale window displays most definitely brings out that little bit of Peter Pan we all have in us.
Nearby Heddon Street is Regent Streets food quarter, home to a plethora of delicious restaurants and cafes of many authentic cuisines. Heddon Street also hosts a series of summer festivals and events. Every Thursday in June for the past 2 years, Heddon Street has been host to a live music festival where people have been treated to incredible Jazz music of all kinds. And in August, Heddon Street brings you Hollywood! Tuesday night is movie night in the West End - popcorn and the silver screen for one and all in the open air cinema!
And then there was Christmas. Like Oxford Street, around the beginning of November a celebrity is chosen to ´flick the switch´ on Regent Streets sponsored Christmas lights. The event is spectacular. The Christmas lights, along with the breathtaking window displays in all the stores, make Regent Street a magical place to visit at this time of year.
So whether you fancy getting lost for hours in eye-boggling Hamleys, stopping for tea and a browse in Liberty's, enjoying the summer festivals or being dazzled by the Christmas displays, this mile long shopping strip is as elegant as it is trendy with something for everyone.
Regent Street has everything you need (and the treats you don´t!), and getting there is easy as well. Oxford Circus is the closest Underground Station, bringing you right out onto the intersection where Regent and Oxford Streets meet. From here the shopping world is your oyster! Other tube stations all within a walking distance of 5 to 15 minutes are Bond Street, Goodge Street, Tottenham Court Road, Great Portland Street, Piccadilly Circus, Warren Street, and Leicester Square.
