Regent Street is a shopping street in west London. Named for the Prince Regent, who later was crowned George IV, it was designed by architect John Nash to connect Regent’s Park in northwest London with the St James’s district—the site of the Prince Regent’s residence, Carlton House. It was completed in 1825. In Charles Dickens’s Nicholas Nickelby, Lord Frederick Verisopht lives on Regent Street.
