"Here's why" is one of the most annoying click-baiting tricks.
My local!
My guess is it would have been the building Uniqlo is now in opposite the church.
I have to say, I dread more Oxford Circus and its shopping crowds than any place in the East End.
I was born in Islington in ‘58. I could not imagine living in London now. The Tube must be a nightmare.
No, instead they just order Satechi stuff easily online from Amazon for half the price, test it at their leisure to check it works as they want, then can also easily return it for free too should it not suit.
Oh well. So long as it lasts long enough to post a pic to the ‘Show Us Your Desktop’ thread - then it’s a win ‘eh.
Yes up constipation, sorry constitution hill. Pop round for tea and light refreshments. Key is under the mat.
There've been internal rumours for years about a building that Apple allegedly bought in Shoreditch to make this happen but they were struggling to get planning permission to rennovate.
But where's the major shopping district in Shoreditch or east London?
Erm, nope... See above: Westfield Stratford City already exists.
I hear you, and I don't know how familiar you are with London but Shoreditch itself is largely a shopping district, just spread out. Spitalfields Market and the Truman Brewery area are where most things are centered around. I'm just saying that with the Apple retail London teams, whispers of a Shoreditch store being in the works have been around for like ten years
Regent St lost its mojo when they tore out the iconic glass staircase and replaced it with Ahrendt's soulless makeover. Back when it opened, Apple used to sell refurbs/open boxes/unopened returns in original packaging, which were stacked on tables near the stairs or against the stairs themselves. Those were were at more generous discounts than the stock 15% off online. It was definitely a destination back then, especially for tourists who used to use the Macbook and iMac displays upstairs as a free internet cafe. You even had a kid's section with colourful lower seating. Apple seemed to making an effort to appeal to customers.
Inside, it’s the same everywhere: the same products, the same tables, the same 'smiling' faces...
I know it exists. That’s what I am saying the Apple Store in Stratford is kinda for the east end of town.
