Weird to have an IKEA in a downtown area. In London they are all on industrial parks in semi rough suburbs like Wembley, Croydon, Tottenham

In Stockholm there is an IKEA in literally the most central and most expensive commercial real estate in Scandinavia -- at Sergelstorg. I'm moving into a new apartment now, so it has been extremely useful to have an IKEA by the central train station!

I think IKEA is strategically making downtown stores all over the world. They recently (well, over a year I think) opened a downtown location in Stockholm, and it's excellent. They provide many of the smaller items you would find in an IKEA, and some showrooms. It's awesome for people without cars.

There’s an ikea in Hammersmith. I assume there no sed service box area, and perhaps a smaller display. If you want something it will presumably be home delivery.

I assume the market hall stuff is on site though.

There’s a central-London IKEA scheduled to open soon on Oxford Street on the Fitzrovia side - I think it’s the old Oxford Circus TopShop site. I’m looking forward to it!

I think this is more of a showroom for delivery. There are other ikeas within a short drive that are more in line with the industrial park warehouse setup
