**HMV to Close Oxford Street Store After Three Years, Citing Site as “Unviable”**
**London, UK** – Entertainment retailer HMV has announced it will close its Oxford Street store after just three years, describing the current site as “unviable.”
The closure marks another shift for one of London’s most iconic shopping thoroughfares. HMV confirmed it is actively seeking a new location within the capital’s West End, aiming to maintain its presence in the area despite the challenges faced at its current premises.
The move highlights the ongoing pressures on high-street retailers, particularly on prime locations like Oxford Street, which grapple with high rents, business rates, and changing consumer habits.
