Regent Street, London

Established in 1825 and named after Prince Regent, this street is soaked in history and is one of the most visited in London. Despite the fact that all former buildings were demolished and new ones came up, it has still retained its charm - especially during Christmas when Londoners and tourists arrive to witness the fairytale like colored lights. Designer shops, trendy nightclubs, record label stores and other worldwide brands pay huge rentals for this location; however it's well worth it considering the crowds it draws all year around. Great for shopping, grabbing a bite or just a stroll and people watching.
