Apple is fitting out the flagship Covent Garden store in London with everything British journalists need for a flawless keynote experience as the “Let’s Talk iPhone” event nears.

As confirmed earlier today, Apple is refusing to stream its iPhone event live to everyone on the planet, but it is making an exception for a bunch of Brits that know a thing or two about journalism.

The English reporters are being welcomed at the location in question where Apple people have covered all the windows to block out any outside interference, not from radio waves, but from nosy passers-by.

As the right side of the above collage shows, outside the venue is a streaming van, which I wouldn’t mind hearing someone hacked into and connected some wires to let other poor souls watch Tim Cook live as he pulls out a shiny new iPhone 5.
