Apple has announced that its new Apple Brompton Road store in the heart of Knightsbridge, London, will open on July 28.
Our newest store on London's iconic Brompton Road, a moment away from Hyde Park, is almost ready to explore. It's a place where your boldest ideas can bloom, and we're here to help them grow.
Situated just a few doors down from the world-famous Harrods department store and other luxury shopping outlets, Apple Brompton Road was made possible thanks to a deal Apple made in 2019 with Chelsfield, the property asset manager overseeing a makeover of The Knightsbridge Estate, to secure retail lettings opposite Harvey Nichols.
To celebrate the store's opening, Apple has a lineup of free music, art, and wellness sessions taking place at the store between July 28-31. Live performances and Q&As are scheduled over the weekend, and there will be a "fantastical AR realm" for visitors to experience inside the store, along with a special guest DJ set on July 28.

This is great, i'm in the Knightsbridge / Kensington area a lot, so having an Apple store there means i do not have to go to the Regents street or Covent garden store.
Wouldn't it be great if Apple looked at a map of the UK and realised there's a whole expanse of the country that's still an hour-or-more's drive away from an Apple store, instead of opening yet another one in a part of England that already has seven within the space of, what, ten miles? In North West England somewhere like Preston seems to be an obvious choice. But nah let's open yet another in bloody London.
