The MegaTech Centre was an electronics superstore located in London in the early 21st century.
The main opening hours were 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday. The store was amply supplied with the latest technological gadgets including PCs and MP3 players.
The store was popular with the general public because of the massive advertising campaign across the national press, television, and the Internet.
