Guide to Regent Street and the West End

Our five Avanta business centres in London’s W1 district offer superb facilities in one of the most famous commercial areas in the world – perfect for business and designed for leisure.

Regent Street

Historic Regent Street dates back to 1825 and was named after the Prince Regent, who later became George IV.

Modern Regent Street is one of London’s leading shopping streets, and is the base for more than 700 small and medium size businesses. More than 10,000 work in Regent Street, which houses more than 150 retail and catering outlets.

Regent Street is a broad, sweeping thoroughfare which neatly divides the swanky streets of Mayfair – where Avanta’s Hanover Square business centre is situated – from the trendy village atmosphere of Soho.

The Hanover Square business centre puts you just two minutes’ walk from Oxford Circus, Regent Street and Soho.

The West End

London’s commercial centre covers several square miles of shops, hotels, restaurants and theatres. Its famous landmarks include Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Oxford Street, Covent Garden and Soho – truly something for every taste.

The West End is about three miles to the west of the City of London financial district and is home to thousands of businesses.

Rent an Avanta serviced office or virtual office and your business will be at the heart of one of the greatest commercial districts in the world.
