In 2012, A&amp;F announced plans that it would open its Abercrombie Kids shop at No. 3 on Savile Row, next door to Gieves &amp; Hawkes. The building in question has cultural significance because it was the former home of Apple Corps and The Beatles once played on top of the roof. The plans drew criticism and opposition from the tailors of the Row, who were already unhappy about the presence of the main A&amp;F store on Burlington Gardens at the end of the Row to begin with, which eventually led to a protest organized by "The Chap" magazine on Monday, April 23, 2012. During the consultation period, objections were lodged to Westminster City Council and in February 2013 the Council rejected many of A&amp;F's proposals for the store, stating that the plans for fixed screens on the windows, shutting out light to create the nightclub feel, was “deeply flawed” and damaging to the character of the street and that the flagpoles that normally hang from Abercrombie &amp; Fitch stores were “highly inappropriate” and branded the entire plans "utterly unacceptable." A public enquiry was then set for February 12 after A&amp;F appealed.
