Regent Street and the surrounding West End are home to some major fashion flagships, tucked-away beauty spots and some of the best places to eat, drink and take five. Here’s how we’d recommend spending a day in the area... [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/54081) Created in partnership with Regent Street ## SHOP Regent Street has always been one of the capital’s best shopping destinations but there’s plenty of newness to keep it feeling fresh. The big names are all here – [Burberry](https://uk.burberry.com/), [Mulberry](https://www.mulberry.com/gb/?) and [Kith](https://uk.kith.com/) among them – while [SKIMS](https://skims.com/en-gb/) has joined the line-up this summer with its first UK standalone store. It’s a useful stretch if you’re looking to see what’s new for the season or simply need somewhere to kill an hour between appointments. For something a little more independent, slip into [Quadrant Arcade](https://www.regentstreetonline.com/news/spotlight-on-quadrant-arcade), just off the main street. It has a calmer feel than Regent Street itself, with [Earl of East](https://www.earlofeast.com/) and [Aromaria](https://www.aromaria.co.uk/?srsltid=AfmBOootxy0My5MgIHhCFl83C7PX6j1WLgRz93F0Wc4fen0iFny0dPn-) among the names worth browsing, while [Biogena](https://biogena.com/en-gb) offers a more wellness-focused pit stop. It’s also home to [Compane](https://compane.co.uk/), which makes a strong case for a coffee and something freshly baked before you head back into the crowds.

The pedestrianised enclave has quietly become one of the West End’s most-loved dining destinations, with everything from the Mexican cooking at [Fonda](https://fondalondon.com/) to the Punjabi-inspired food at [Ambassadors Clubhous](https://ambassadorsclubhouse.com/london/)e and the Spanish and Latin American flavours of [Sabor](https://www.saborrestaurants.co.uk/). It’s lively enough to feel like you’re out, without requiring the sort of two-hour lunch that makes the afternoon schedule impossible. If you’re after something more classic, [Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill](https://www.bentleys.org/) is nearby on Swallow Street and has been a London institution for more than a century. Come for oysters, stay for lunch. Later, [Bar Américain at Brasserie Zédel](https://www.brasseriezedel.com/bar-americain/) is a reliable choice for a cocktail, while [Ronnie’s](https://uk.kith.com/pages/ronnies-london), tucked inside [Kith](https://uk.kith.com/)’s Regent Street store, is the place to round out the day. [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/PntRMKwFqd6CtyXhTjj8xBCuIvQ=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-170926-the-crown-estate-6.png) ](https://www.regentstreetonline.com/) ## TAKE A BREAK Think of [Quadrant Arcade](https://www.regentstreetonline.com/news/spotlight-on-quadrant-arcade) as your wellness retreat on Regent Street. Just off the main thoroughfare, this elegant Art Deco arcade is the place to escape the crowds, slow down and reset without actually leaving central London. Start with a wander through [Aromaria](https://www.aromaria.co.uk/), the Mexico-founded fragrance brand, before browsing the candles, bathing products and independent lifestyle finds at [Earl of East](https://www.earlofeast.com/). For something more restorative, [Biogena](https://biogena.com/en-gb) brings a more science-led approach to wellbeing, with its three-floor Store & Longevity Lab offering everything from personalised nutrition advice to biohacking treatments including red light therapy and lymphatic drainage.

Further down the street, [Hotel Café Royal](https://www.hotelcaferoyal.com/) puts you neatly between Piccadilly, Soho and Mayfair, making it another useful base for a weekend of shopping, eating and generally making the most of central London. The best thing about Regent Street and St James’s at this time of year is that neither needs Fashion Week to justify a visit. But with the shows bringing the city’s fashion crowd back into town, it’s a particularly good excuse to spend a day exploring the area – preferably with lunch, shopping and a drink to finish off. *Visit* [REGENTSTREETONLINE.COM](https://www.regentstreetonline.com/) [ Sign in to comment with your SheerLuxe profile ](/user/login?destination=)Or continue to comment as a Guest below *more from* Culture [View All Culture](/culture) ![Inside The SheerLuxe Founders’ Evening At The Arding Rooms](https://media.sheerluxe.com/JgnoVFZEzSH3doXZRMkd-V-ztc8=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-100926-founders-event-thumb.jpg) [Culture](/culture) / 10 September 2026 [## Inside The SheerLuxe Founders’ Evening At The Arding Rooms ](/culture/inside-the-sheerluxe-founders-evening-at-the-arding-rooms) ![The Luxe List: September](https://media.sheerluxe.com/rEhXdYl78f7_W5I-GYnFYSlV094=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-site-assets-020926-thumb-luxe-list-2.jpg) [Culture](/culture) / 02 September 2026 [## The Luxe List: September ](/culture/the-luxe-list-september-0) ![The Gold Edition Hot List ](https://media.sheerluxe.com/9mgRYt6AVBR_KA9qTjczNSh_tBo=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2Fgold-site-assets-0826-thumb-hero-hot-list.jpg) [Travel & Culture](/gold/travel-culture)/ 17 August 2026 [## The Gold Edition Hot List ](/culture/the-gold-edition-hot-list-3) ![This Luxury Car Will Change The Way You Think About Electric Driving](https://media.sheerluxe.com/g7TtDNkf3HJLqJlWYDwcNP4SIpo=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2Fsl-site-assets-100826-thumb-porsche-com.jpg) [Culture](/culture) / 10 August 2026 [## This Luxury Car Will Change The Way You Think About Electric Driving ](/culture/this-luxury-car-will-change-the-way-you-think-about-electric-driving) ![The Luxe List: August](https://media.sheerluxe.com/HdnnnG3O3dwyIjhS1xuAaYWzCeY=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2Fsl-site-assets-030826-thumb-luxe-list-more-to-come.jpg) [Culture](/culture) / 03 August 2026 [## The Luxe List: August ](/culture/the-luxe-list-august-0) ![The Gold Edition Hot List](https://media.sheerluxe.com/QtspAJOWa8laOtECN_wp-0cN8G4=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F07%2Fsl-gold-200726-site-assets-hot-list-thumb.jpg) [Travel & Culture](/gold/travel-culture)/ 20 July 2026 [## The Gold Edition Hot List ](/culture/the-gold-edition-hot-list-2) ![The Substack Newsletters The SL Team Love](https://media.sheerluxe.com/jWUVKH7rrqZ9fWi-22ohDk24Hko=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F07%2Fsl-site-assets-140726-thumb-hero-team-substacks.jpg) [Culture](/culture) / 14 July 2026 [## The Substack Newsletters The SL Team Love ](/culture/best-substack-newsletter) ![The Luxe List: July](https://media.sheerluxe.com/CD9sxvzGhV4QupCObRkdVLdzYmA=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F07%2Fsl-site-assets-010726-luxe-list-3.jpg) [Culture](/culture) / 01 July 2026 [## The Luxe List: July ](/culture/the-luxe-list-july-0) ![Quentin Jones: A Creative’s Guide To New York, Art & Collecting](https://media.sheerluxe.com/z4SIk7pp6jB8sGk-fs2xnbGzcfc=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F06%2Fsl-portrait-230626-quentin-jones.jpg) [Culture](/culture) / 23 June 2026 [## Quentin Jones: A Creative’s Guide To New York, Art & Collecting ](/culture/quentin-jones) Share This Story [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fculture%2Fwhere-to-eat-shop-drink-in-londons-west-end&t=Where+To+Eat%2C+Shop+%26+Drink+In+London%E2%80%99s+West+End) [ Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fculture%2Fwhere-to-eat-shop-drink-in-londons-west-end&description=Where+To+Eat%2C+Shop+%26+Drink+In+London%E2%80%99s+West+End&media=) [ E-mail ]() DISCLAIMER: We endeavour to always credit the correct original source of every image we use.
