Pay no attention to the store behind the curtain

Regent Street StoreOf course, Apple would decide to hold a press event in London, just while I happen to be an extra 3000 miles west of my usual location. Since I don’t really plan on staying up until 3AM to cover the Regent Street event, I’ll find out first thing in the morning like the rest of the sensible plebes.

But something is most assuredly going down at the Regent Street store. Reader Thomas pointed us to some pics he snapped of the London retail outlet, which is now shrouded in mysterious black curtains that tell me just one more thing: Steve Jobs will personally unveil his iDoomsday device in London tomorrow morning.

A sign in the window also informs passersby that the store will be closed until 4PM on the 18th. Londoners are directed to Apple’s retail site, but those in the know will be aware that the only other London-located store is in Brent Cross, which is kind of a hike just so you can pick up an iPod cable. Hope you don’t find yourself too put out: let me know if I can get you anything in these trying times. Until then, it’s curtains for you.

The Kingston store is also in the Greater London area, and the Bluewater store in Kent is on the edge of South and East London. So effectively there are four Apple Stores, despite the way Apple's website lists them.
