REGENT STREET LONDON
Originally designed by John Nash in the 19th century to link Regent’s Park in the north to the Prince Regent’s residence in St. James’s, Regent St. is divided into two parts. Upper Regent St. between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus, is known for its elegant shopping; Lower Regent St. running south from Piccadilly Circus, terminates at Waterloo Place, where a column topped with the Grand Old Duke of York overlooks St. James’s Park.
