HMV opens new flagship store

HMV has replaced its original central London store at 363 Oxford Street with a new three-storey building opposite.

It is now the chain’s second flagship store, alongside the main 5110m2 site further along the same road (DW 30 July 1999).

London design group Greig and Stephenson has created the façade, signage and interiors of the new 2790m2 outlet, which opened last Thursday and will accommodate over 200 000 music titles.

An exhibition including photographs and artefacts from the group’s archive will also feature in the new store.
