It depends which model you want. If it's the base model then Covent Garden should do since they have Macs at White City store.
Otherwise go to Regents Street. It didn't seem like anyone else was buying Mac except from me. Don't think people knew they had them in stock since they were not out for display except from the models behind the glass.
So you should still have a good chance of getting there before it gets sold out
An Apple Store in Rome just confirmed availability. Couldn't tell me how many they had, though, nor colour or storage.
I will go to Bluewater Apple Store after I've done this call out! Thanks for heads up. I wouldn't be surprised if only London stores had them though.
I think i'll go check the Aberdeen store, you know, just to make sure.
Hope you find exactly what you are looking for!
Give them a call, or even just check it.
But don't rely on that Istocklive website, it's not very accurate.
Yep, the Apple Store in Aberdeen has said they will receive 13 inch models very soon, but no update on the 15 inch.
Tried calling but no answer. Website stock won't be live yet.
[doublepost=1479816180][/doublepost]Will stores now received daily deliveries of tMBP? Or think they'll still be rare for a month or so?
Can anyone in London confirm if there are actually 13" touch bar with 256gb/512gb, or 13" non-touch bar with 512gb+ available in store? I checked the apple UK website, and it is saying they aren't in stock till approx. December 2.
It want to know if the retail stores have received stock for sale today, which is not being reflected on the online store.

Apple Regent Street definitely has 13 inch TB models in stock - just called them to check.
Great thanks for the info, I'll drop into Regent Street later and confirm what else is available.
I tried to contact Covent Garden, but the person who answered the phone had no idea and was looking at the Apple UK website stock
Same, I called Covent Garden and they told me online orders only. I went into the store and two staff members at the door said the same thing. Walked over to try out the non-touch bar 13" and someone asked if I needed help. I asked if they had stock of TB's and he said "of course". Walked out a couple of minutes later with a 13" SG 256/8GB TB.
It seems they only have stock configurations at the moment.
Also, while I was being served, another staff member sent a woman away saying they have no idea when they'll be in stores and to order online with the wait. Seems there's lots of confusion around it.
Happy I have mine though and can now cancel my 7-13th December delivery.
[doublepost=1479819382][/doublepost]Except now it has to sit in the drawer at work for the next 5 hours. I'm not opening it until I get home.
Never clung to something so tightly on public transport before.
Ok I'm at the Regent st store now.
Can confirm that 13" Touchbar in 8/16gb and 256/512gb configurations available. Just ordered 2 in space grey. Silver also available.
For non-touchbar 13", only 8gb and 256gb configuration.
No 15" available at all.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Hmm, you don't know if they had 13" TB but 16gb/256 in stock do you? Covent Garden didn't and I assumed not.
No stock in Bluewater Apple Store.
First guy I spoke to was unhelpful and said order online. I said London stores have them in stock and that online was a 5 week wait and he still said ordering online was the quickest way to get one...
Went deeper into the store and spoke to another nicer guy, who said they will probably have stock in a few days.

Sorry but the sales guy told me i snapped up the last 16gb 13" TB (which was a 512).
They must not be in the system yet. Most of the people I spoke to over the phone or even in store didn't even realise they were there, and when the guy went to go and get me one, he described it as if he literally had to sort through a crate of them in the store room to find the right configuration.
