Apple's Regent Street Store in UK is Temporarily Closed, Here's Why

Apple's flagship Regent Street store in London, England is temporarily closed starting today for "refurbishment," the company said on its website.

Apple has not indicated when the store will reopen, but a source familiar with the matter indicated that the location will likely be closed for at least a few weeks. It is unclear if Apple is planning any changes that will be visible to customers, but the company has been removing the Video Wall from some of it stores in recent months. Many newer and renovated stores also feature a dedicated Apple Pickup station for online orders.

In some cases, Apple only updates a store's fixtures or back-of-house area, resulting in no visible differences to customers when business resumes.

Regent Street is a world-famous shopping street in the heart of London, making it one of the busiest locations where Apple has a retail presence. At a minimum, hopefully the store will receive a deep clean before it reopens.

Apple first opened its Regent Street store in 2004.

It was my local, so was Covent Garden. But now Battersea power Station is really close but prefer that one.
After triangulating those points I have to conclude that you’re living in Buckingham Palace 😀👑

That store is beautiful. One of my favorites and was the very first Apple store for the entire continent of Europe

Next time I go to England, I’m definitely planning on visiting the Regent Street store!

Apple Stores are all pretty boring these days. You know everything they sell, and most of the accessories are the most expensive versions, compared to equally as good cheaper ones you can buy online from elsewhere.

Unless you're desperate to visit the Genius Bar, largely irrelevant given everything is available online with free delivery.
