Hamleys

A hasty three shot panorama taken from the traffic island in the middle of Regent Street while competing for space with tourists snapping the view of the Christmas lights down the street to the right..

 

From Wikipedia:

Hamleys of London Limited, trading as Hamleys, is a British multinational toy retailer, owned by Reliance Retail. Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest toy store, it was founded by William Hamley as "Noah's Ark" in High Holborn, London, in 1760. It moved to its current site on Regent Street in London's West End in 1881. This flagship store is set over seven floors, with more than 50,000 lines of toys on sale. It receives around five million visitors each year, and in 1994 was the largest toy shop in the world.

100/100 London landmarks by night

 

It seems I must have misnumbered my entries to the 100x group, and have reached the group's limit. So I am renumbering this to 100 and calling it a night. It has been a fun and rewarding challenge and I thank everyone who faved, commented and viewed these images.
