Regent Street
Regent Street is one of the most important examples of town planning in the country. First laid out by John Nash in the early 19th century, it provides a processional route from Regent's park in the north to Carlton House in the south (the present site of Carlton House Terrace).
The early 19th century buildings on Regent Street became unfashionable towards the end of the 19th century and the street was rebuilt in Beaux Arts style between 1898 and 1930.
Regent Street is remarkable for its high degree of uniformity in terms of architectural style, materials and scale.
The conservation area was first designated in 1973, extended in 1984 and the boundaries rearranged in 1990 and 2005.
