London's Borough Market, one of the oldest markets in the U.K., is marking its 1,000th anniversary this year. (Yes, it's been around for a millennium.) As part of the celebrations, it treated shoppers to a delightful concept—creating a "Real Apple Store" for the weekend that was a clever copy of Apple's iconic retail establishments.
