The £500 million refurbishment programme for Regent Street is enabling us to attract the best of national and international retailers and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the new spaces when they have been fitted out ready for this year’s Christmas trade. These lettings together with those already completed over the last year with Hobbs, Massimo Dutti and Molton Brown underline Regent Street’s position as a street of quality, heritage, style and success.”
Two more retailers have recently joined Regent Street’s list of international brands and quality names: Hawes and Curtis, the shirt makers and Petite Bateau, the children’s clothing retailer.
