Although it's a popular location, Burberry on Regent Street is known more for their clothes than for their views, but don't underestimate the perspectives of the city that this high-end retail store can offer. The southeast-facing windows are one of my favorite places to snap photos — especially during the holidays when Regent Street is decorated with the famous flying angels.

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.
