    I'm in London today and want to visit the store but can't find it. Was on Regent street yesterday but didn't see it. Did it move?

    Need an answer quick as I'm only in LDN today

    It closed. Tommy Hillfigher bought the lease for an outrageous amount I heard....
    I wonder if they will open a new one soon

    Ferrari are reducing their number of stores worldwide, concentrating on certain locations.

    Last week I was in the Ferrari store in Bucharest and got a killer deal (50% off real F1 hardware). Looks like that location won't survive either.

    Or perhaps a realisation an online store is more cost effective than paying rent on one of the most expensive retail streets in the world?

    They've always had an on line store.

    There's a reason Luxury Brands have stores it's to enhance brand image and perceived value.

    I personally never understood Ferrari Stores and every time I've passed one they seemed empty.

    A bunch of the Ferrari brand watches are being sold on Woot.com, an inventory liquidator. Maybe a coincidence. Doubt it.

    The London one was always full... full of Tourists looking around.

    I got told off by security there once for taking a picture of an F1 engine they had on display. Never bothered to go back there again.

    Besides, I like to wear Lamborghini clothing when I drive a Ferrari :D

    You are right....and Ferrari makes quite a lot of money from the Stores around the world. Obviously some work better than others though
