Top ways to experience Regent Street
The area
Neighbourhood: St. James's
Perennially fashionable since the days of Henry VIII, the aristocratic “Clubland” of St James's is a premier destination for high end craft and bespoke design. Here you’ll lose count of the Royal Warrants (which indicate that the Royal Family patronizes the establishment) seen in shop front windows, even during a short stroll to bordering Green Park or St James’s Park. With the brightly lit and constantly buzzing junction of Piccadilly Circus at its northeast corner and none of Central London too far away, this is an surprisingly central and accessible part of town, especially given its prosperous demeanor.
How to get there
- Green Park • 5 min walk
- Piccadilly Circus • 5 min walk

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Extremely bad experience at the Apple Store in Regents Street. I walked in hoping to get buy some airpods, I was advised by a member of staff to queue here for the airpods, I waited for 5 mins, then got told by a member of staff to queue up elsewhere. I waited 20 mins in another queue, got to the front, spoke to another arrogant and rude staff member who said i'm in the wrong place, no apologies, he then sent me back to the original queue. At this point I left and went to John Lewis. Incredibly bad customer service, rude staff, zero clarity in where we pay.

Regent Street is off of Oxford Street but for me has much better building design and structure - take time to have a look aroUnd and above eye level. Great shops and a great experience. Can be busy but in the post pandemic era is much quieter than we have previously experienced.

For me it is quieter (now pedestrian only due to Covid) with better building design and structure - take time to have a look aroUnd and above eye level.
This street has awesome shops and a great experience. It’s a must. Looks great for Christmas.

We have been lifelong lovers of anything Apple but the past 6 weeks have made me really regret being so loyal!!
As both a personal and business customer, spending thousands every year, I feel badly let down by Apple and as for any sort of customer service well forget it!!
In September we ordered 5 new iPhone 15’s for both myself and the team at work.
We decided to return one of the phones unopened as the person who wanted it changed their minds.
After some delays with TNT, the box was eventually collected on the 14th November and I was told it would take 3 to 5 days for the refund to be sorted!
Here we are on the 20th December and despite daily chasers I’m still £1,100 out of pocket and no refund.
Apparently I’m told that the phone hasn’t yet reached the warehouse.
I know TNT aren’t great but 6 weeks to deliver a phone a few miles is just ridiculous.
Customer service is an absolute joke.
The Business Team including people like Marta are quick enough to take my money when placing an order but have completely disappeared now I have an issue.
A guy called Reza had been promising me an update over a week ago but now nothing.
It’s impossible to escalate as no one wants to give me details of a Senior person in the store or how I raise a formal complaint.
It really is a joke and makes me regret being loyal to Apple.
I have now given them until Friday to return my money before I instigate legal proceedings but it should have never got to this stage.
Be warned!!

This is just one of those classic elegant old world shopping streets. Some of the grand old dames of shopping surrounded by regal architecture. You feel like you are walking on an old movie set waiting for Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to pop around the corner. A lovely stroll on any afternoon

Shockingly bad service. Tried to buy Airpods Pro but staff to busy socialising amongs themselves. Ask for help but pretty much refused. Why people want to spend money in a store where they dont appreciate their customers is beyond me. Avoid.

This is one of my favourite street in London.
I always walk through it every time I go to London. I love all the shops and the energy of the street.
This is one of the tourist attractions in London which is surrounded by historical buildings.

I used to love going to Regent Street to look round Hamley’s, the oldest and largest toy shop in the world. It is far better than Oxford Street, but this time it was a little disappointing. It is so crowded you can’t get far without being pushed and jostled.
There are lots of pick-pockets about so you need to keep your bags and wallets safe.
Maybe our next visit will be better.

Hi! Are the Twelve Days of Christmas ornaments still on display at Christmas over Regent Street? Or were they replaced? THanks!!

Sorry, I do not know the answer. I was there in July only. Hopefully, someone else can help you. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

Hi the stores open around 9 except sunday open later about 11 due to trading laws. Most shops are still open at 8 and 9 in the week. All the cafes and restaurants open later. You are in theatre land so restaurants cater for theatre goers before and after the shows. There are wonderful kiosks dotted around where you can pick up ice creams and cold drinks on Regent Street and around Piccadilly. Enjoy your time in our wonderful city.
