New Regent Street, Spanish Mission style heritage street in Christchurch, New Zealand.

New Regent Street is a Category 1 heritage-listed pedestrian street in central Christchurch, New Zealand, with shops and cafes lining both sides of a short, flat lane. The buildings on either side are built in the Spanish Mission style, featuring shaped gables, decorative medallions, tiled window hoods, and ornamental columns.

New Regent Street was built as a private development by Regent Street Limited, formed in 1929 by Arthur Francis Stacey and partners including David Manson and Alexander Hamilton Forbes. Plans by Francis Willis covered 40 shops in Spanish Mission style; the contract was let to P. Graham and Son and the street finished in March 1932. It opened on 1 April 1932 during the Great Depression, with only three shops occupied.

New Regent Street is known for its Spanish Mission style from the 1930s, with shaped gables, colored tiles, and ironwork details visible on every facade. Today it works as a meeting point where cafes and small shops draw locals and visitors throughout the day.

The street is flat and easy to walk, making it accessible for everyone. Heritage trams run through the lane, so keep an eye on the tracks and stay in the marked walking areas.

At opening, the street was fitted with around 400 electric lamps, which was very unusual for a shopping street at the time. People came specifically to see the night lighting display, making it a destination in itself long before any shop had opened its doors.
