Microsoft is shutting down its flagship retail storefront in the UK — cuts lease short in the heart of London

The Microsoft Store on Oxford Street.

Microsoft's flagship UK "Experience Centre" storefront in London will close its doors next month, the company has confirmed. In a statement to Windows Central, a Microsoft spokesperson said "To better align with its focus on digital growth, Microsoft has decided to exit the lease at the Microsoft Experience Centre in London early."

The 21,000 square foot Microsoft Store in London first opened in July 2019 to much fanfare. It was designed to be a hub for technology from both Microsoft and its partners, showcasing high-end hardware from third-party OEMs as well as the latest products from Surface and Xbox.
