Apple Mac shops - which one is quietest?

[Goodliz]

Hello, I need to take my MacBook to one of the Apple Stores. There are so many of them now so I wandered which is most likely to be the quietest.

I work Mon - Fri (finish work at 3.30 though) but not in town so it will mean a trip into town in the evening or at the weekend.

Does anyone know which is likely to be the quietest or been to one recently please? I last went a few years ago to the one on Regent Street and it was heaving with people.

Thanks, Liz

I bought an ipad from the Covent Garden store around 16.00 a few months back - asked a few questions on the models, got my answers, selected, paid and was out within 5 minutes.

Is it for repair? Don't you have to make an appointment anyway?

Most of the people appeared to be tourists and schoolchildren browsing...

Good point Lowlander, I had better check if I need to make an appointment. Thank you.

If you drive I would choose Bluewater.. 40 mins from East Dulwich. 19 miles

Free parking all day. Busy at week ends but a lot quieter during the week .

Thank you DulwichFox, that is good to know. I've just had some technical support over the phone so I may not have to go to the shop after all. Fingers crossed.

Good to hear.

If you do ever need to go: Regent's Street, Covent Garden and Stratford have all been much of a muchness in my experience. You need to book s slot online, and you'll see how they compare in terms of available slots when you do this. I went to Stratford because I could get same-day (and easy to get to using Ginger Line) which I couldn't at the others, so it's maybe marginally less popular.
