Regent Street (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Regent Street?
What makes it 56% Baby-Friendly: Wide pavements suit strollers and Liberty offers baby-change, but loud traffic, scarce quiet nursing rooms, and cramped store aisles reduce comfort for parents with infants.

- Wide, Level Pathways: The entire street is step-free, making it easy to push a pram.
- Free Baby Rooms: Many stores offer baby-changing tables and feeding spaces at no cost.
Challenges:
- Crowded at Peak Times: Midday weekends can be busy, making pram navigation harder.
- No Dedicated Play Areas: There are no soft-play zones; nearby parks are better for active toddlers.

Reviews of Regent Street
phaedra
This street in London is vibrant and full of energy. It offers a great mix of popular shops, flagship stores, and beautiful architecture. It was very busy and crowded, especially during peak hours, but that really shows how lively and popular the area is. A great place to shop, walk around, and experience the city atmosphere.
David Stejkowski
Some of the most spectacular Christmas lighting you’ll see anywhere. And don’t forget it’s also a top shopping district in London. Expect huge crowds and lots of people on weekends especially during the holiday season. But it’s worth the walk.
Christianah
A traffic free day experience was fun but chaotic. Walking through the street under its Angelic Christmas decor is a festive highlight whilst admiring the shops and architectural designs.
Amy Everson
Gotta go there for the beautiful lights. Super pretty, even in the rain its worth stopping by here at Christmas!
Tarek Raslan
From Oxford street take this turn where you will have different shopping brands more luxurious and the street is wider and the architecture are even different. The restaurants and bars at the back streets are excellent choice for resting during your shopping 🛍️ or hopping Highly recommend
