Apple reopens its store at Westfield London after major refurbishment
Apple today reopened its store in the Westfield London shopping centre in Shepherds Bush a year after it moved out for a major makeover.
Apple, which has more than 500 stores worldwide, had been operating out of a smaller temporary space at the mall while the work was being done.
The newly refurbished space at Apple White City has a granite floor and limestone walls and a 21ft high triple glazed glass frontage
Visitors are greeted by 4 towering Sicilian Ficus trees, while tree-lined seating at the base of each planter “acts as a social gathering space for visitors.”
In a first for Apple in Europe the store has a dedicated pickup area, for customers to pick up products ordered online.
The 260-person strong store team collectively speak more than 40 languages such as Japanese, French, Hebrew, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese Mandarin, Somali and Urdu and comprise 54 nationalities.
