people camped outside of the apple store at bluewater over 24hrs in advance of release

somewhere else said people camped OUTSIDE of the actual centre for Tom Daley’s book signing

Bluewater’s doors are always open, shops do SHUT tho. but you can like queue outside the doors of the stores INSIDE the centre.(apparently)

I am not to sure about car park barriers. Parking is free. but there are barriers that are usually always up. not too sure if there is permitted overnight parking. or a limit on time.

(Little Mix) “Some fans have been camped out at Bluewater since 9pm yesterday, with others arriving early today to be near the front of the queue.” so i interpret that to mean that they were outside of the shop. Tho is was WHSmiths.

Personal Experience: I’ve been there LATE at night and it’s dead. some cleaners and sometimes cinema is open late so the odd cinemagoer (that was me). but yeah, it did seem like the doors weren’t closing any time soon. I’ve also got there at 8am (for book signing). also dead with cleaners and staff. Including hollister staff opposite Waterstones coating the whole wing with the fucking scent. shops were still shut starbucks opens early tho for the early trade, it think. and security were ok with people queuing and I thought 8am was LATE. but they obviously seem used to 24hr+ campers.

My conclusion: I think we can camp inside the center, in front of the shop over night. Not too sure what to do when you get there. Waterstones usually make you line up like so: (pic not mine)
