American favourite Anthropologie chose Regent Street as the location for its first ever European store, bringing with it a fabulous mix of women’s fashion, accessories, home décor and decorative antiques.

More like a collection of independent boutiques than an international chain store, Anthropologie reflects the nature and history of the Regent Street site, incorporating reclaimed materials and featuring the work of local artists and artisans in store. The largest purveyor of decorative antiques and found objects in the United States, these have a major presence in the Regent Street store.

A quick stop by Anthropologie can make one wonder where the whole afternoon has gone… The wonderful mix of unique, feminine clothes, unusual home decorations (look out for the Christmas collection), shows why on average, the Anthropologie customer spends one and a half hours in the store.

And this is before we mentioned the wall covered in plants, all kept alive with rainwater and UV lights...
