Regent Street is a major street in the West End of London, in the City of Westminster. It is one of the main shopping streets of London. It runs from Piccadilly Circus in the south to the intersection with Cavendish Place in the north, after which it continues as Langham Place.
Regent Street was named after the Prince Regent, who later ascended the throne as King George IV. The street, which was laid out in 1825, represents an early attempt at town planning for England. It cut through the older streets laid in the 17th and 18th centuries, beginning from the home of the Prince Regent at Carlton House in St James's, passing Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus, to reach the All Souls Church at Langham Place.
The buildings along Regent Street are part of the Regent Street Conservation Area. They are all protecfted as a Listed Building, at least a Grade II, meaning they are "particularly important buildings of more than special interest", and some are Grade I, meaning they are "of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important".
