Regent Stree |
 |
Set amidst the energetic atmosphere of London`s West End, Regent Street is a bustling shopping street in the heart of the capital that offers visitors a chance to indulge in their passion for shopping. Located in the City of Westminster, Regent Street is nestled in between an area which runs from Oxford Circus (north side) to Piccadilly Circus (south side) and is home to department stores, trendy clothing shops and upmarket boutiques for those looking for a stylish gift for that special occasion.
Built as part of a ceremonial route for royalty, London’s Regent Street was initially completed in 1825 under the guiding hand of famous designer John Nash. However, in 1927 Regent Street was given a complete makeover and has since seen a steady addition of new department stores and well known brand name shops which have made this cosmopolitan street an attraction for shoppers from around the world. 24 hour parking facilities near Regent Street include Burlington (3-9 Old Burlington Street) and Broadwick (Dufours Place, W1V 1FD).
