Regent Street

Named after the Prince Regent, the street was built in 1819 under the direction of architect John Nash and its Grade II-listed facades represent some of the most distinguished architecture in London. When built, Regent Street was the original shopping street for the capital and has grown into a world-renowned destination that is home to world-class flagship stores including Tory Burch, Burberry, Coach, and Kate Spade. Its programme of events are globally recognised and include Summer Streets, Fashion Festival in September, and the switch-on of its iconic Christmas lights in November.
