Burberry Clothing Store view of Regent Street & Shops

This picture of Regent Street was taken from the top floor of the Burberry shop, which is also located on Regent Street. The easiest way to access this location is by taking public transportation and then walking. When you enter the shop from the ground level, there'll be a staircase on your left. Go up to the top floor and then head toward the windows that face Regent Street. Because this is a luxury shop, the security and staff will be behind you at all times. I suggest photographing quickly and communicating with them that you're not there to take professional photos. By public transportation: - Closest station: Piccadilly Circus (via Bakerloo or Piccadilly Line) - Head west on Coventry St/A4 toward Shaftesbury Ave/A401 - Continue onto Piccadilly Circus/A4201 - Turn right onto Glasshouse St - Continue onto Vigo St Address: Burberry, 121 Regent St, Mayfair, London W1B 4TB, United Kingdom

This view of Regent Street from the Burberry store is accessible year round, but in order to capture the flying Christmas angels over the road, you'll need to visit in December.

My favourite time to photograph this location is at night when you'll be able to capture the illuminated lights along the street.

I recommend shooting with a wide-angle lens. For reference, I shot this photo with a 15mm lens that allowed me to snap a wider perspective of the street.

Unfortunately, since you're photographing from a store, tripods are not allowed. Make sure to bump up your ISO to get a decent shutter speed, which will help with stability and the quality of your image.

Wait for a red, double-decker bus to pass through your shot to get that classic London look.

Regent Street has some of the best shopping, dining and people watching in London. Spend the day checking out all of the retail stores (they range from high end to low end) and then stop into one of the many restaurants or cafes for a bite to eat.
