The Busiest Apple Store in the World - in London


London Apple Store on Regent Street

This line is not an exception - it is a normal line to the cash register. It was not the day a new product was being offered.

It moves fast

People wait patiently to try new products

This is Thursday morning at 11 AM looking in the front door - note glass steps going up to classrooms and lecture area

This NEW Apple Store will open in 4 days - it is at Covent Gardens - just a mile from the other Apple Store. That curtain was on a corner and goes down the other street just as far.

I spent way too much of my time in the Apple Store in London. They offer free classes on different Apple hardware and software. They start at 8 AM and go to 8 PM. The Regent Street store sells more Apple products than anywhere else in the world.

In a couple days - they are opening a much bigger store at Covent Gardens - about a mile away in the theatre area. This store will occupy the entire first floor on a corner in one of the busiest shopping areas in town. One can have dinner - buy a computer - and go to a show - and not have to walk 100 yards.
