Maybe Amazon will start taking pre-orders over the next few days, worth keeping an eye out.

There are normally a few physical check outs, although if you have an i device with a network connection, you can download the Apple store app that will let you buy products by scanning their barcodes and it will charge whatever payment method you use for the Apple account on that I device.
Failing that, if you are paying by card, and can find a member of staff, they normally have access to a wireless card terminal. I will say that in my experience (I've been in the Regent Street, Covent Garden and various local Apple stores), Apple stores usually have a lot more staff than competing stores (although they do tend to be a lot busier as well).
