On Sunday 2 September 2007 the eighth Regent Street Festival will take place. This year the Regent Street Festival will showcase all the flair, culture and magic of one of the world’s most magnificent and diverse countries. India is known for having the most exotic festivals in the world. From 12.00noon until 8.00pm Regent Street will be closed to traffic where dance, processions and displays will come together. The Regent Street stores will host in-store festivities and will be offering special promotions. The Regent Street Festival is part of Visit London’s Festival month, backed by the Mayor and Transport for London . India is one of the world’s most significant and rapidly expanding economies. It has one of the world’s most important cultures. Over 500 Indian companies have chosen London for their international, European and UK headquarters and the Indian community accounts for 2 per cent of the UK population and contribute five per cent to the GDP. India already has the second largest number of foreign Direct Investment projects, next only to the USA . Regent Street continues to flourish with the £500 million remodelling and revitalisation programme by The Crown Estate, which is creating a quality environment for people and tourism alike. Within the last year alone more than fourteen flagship stores have opened on Regent Street including Habitat, Zara Home, Brooks Brothers, Kurt Geiger, Penhaligon’s, Mamas & Papas, Duchamp, Tommy Hilfiger, Timberland and Bose. Soon to open are the Spanish fashion brand Hoss Intropia, mobile and camera technology experts Nokia, and the eagerly awaited Cos – H&M’s new premium fascia.
