The sumptuous beds come complete with lavish canopies and the marble baths are just about big enough for two.

Home of Hamley’s, which once held the title of largest toy-shop in the world, the street curves majestically away from Piccadilly Circus joining to Oxford Circus, playing host to D H Evans and Liberty among others. The street was originally created as part of John Nash’s town plan in 1811, and was named after the then- Prince Regent.
