London

Sign in to edit

London — containing the City of London — is the capital of the United Kingdom and of England. It is considered to be a major "world city".

Background[]

With over eight million inhabitants (Londoners) in the Greater London area, it is amongst the most densely populated areas in Western Europe. Founded as Londinium, the capital of the Roman province of Roman Britain, it later rose to become the centre of the British Empire. Today it generates around a quarter of the GDP of the UK's economy, amongst the world's largest, and is a major financial centre along with New York City and Tokyo. For several centuries now, London has been one of the most influential powers in politics, finance, arts and fashion and it remains so today.

Apple's UK and Ireland headquarters is presently located at the Hollyhill Industrial Estate in Cork, Republic of Ireland. In 2016, Apple announced plans to open a new UK headquarters at Battersea Power Station, which is in the process of being refurbished by 2022. Apple intends to occupy all 6 floors of office space, containing about 500,000 square feet (46450 m2) of room for 1,400 employees.[1][2][3] However, in 2019, Apple leased over 100,000 square feet (9,290 m2) at 22 Bishopsgate to consolidate its London staff who are believed to be working on Apple Pay. The space at Bishopsgate is also part of Apple's contingency plan in case the refurbishment at Battersea is delayed.[4]

Stores in London[]

Apple Regent Street, the first Apple retail store in Europe, was opened on 20 November 2004 in the West End of London.[5] As of 2022, three Apple Stores have been opened in Central London with four additional stores in the Greater London area.[6] The newest location, Apple Brompton Road, was opened in Central London on 28 July 2022.[7]
