This clue might be a double definition.

'way' is the first definition.
(street is a kind of way)

'follow regent in london' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "lane" , "Urban thoroughfare" , "See 1 Down" , "See 14" , "Urban road" .)
