Pictures of Regent Street

Regent Street is one of the best known shopping areas not just in London but in the country as a whole. In fact its far more than a shopping area as it borders the heart of London nightlife, theatreland and tourist heart of London. The section between Piccadilly Circus and South to Pall Mall is Called Lower Regent Street. North of Piccadilly Circus up to Langham Place is the main Regent Street with the vast majority of shops and amenities.
Today the Street is home some 142 different shops, hotels, restaurants, boutiques and stores. One of the more recent arrivals is the Apple Mac store in keeping with the renovation and facelift the Street has seen in the 21st century. Some names have been around for many years and become associated with the Street such as Liberty (since 1875), Burberrys, Dickins & Jones and of course Hamleys toy store (one of the largest toy stores in the world). Other stores and restaurants are new kids on the blocks and represent the changing nature of the High Street such as the ubiquitous McDonalds (actually two of them), the Body Shop, Café Nero, French Connection, Gap Kids and many many more
