“A store in London has long been part of our vision for our physical and digital store presence,” said Microsoft’s David Porter in a press release. “London is one of the world’s most exciting shopping destinations, and we look forward to empowering customers to explore all that is possible with Microsoft.”


The three-floor building will feature a range of PC, mobile and Xbox technology for sale, along with a repairs and support area and “interactivity zones” that will allow customers to try out the latest tech such as Surface and HoloLens. There are also plans to run free workshops on coding and programming.
