Exciting news - we can't wait to visit! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
📍 Our new home on Oxford Street will open Thursday, 1st May! We’re delighted to share that we’ll open the doors to our highly anticipated Oxford Street store on Thursday, 1st May, marking the completion of an extensive environmental upgrade of the Grade II listed building at 214 Oxford Street. Spanning three floors of the seven-storey building, the store will offer the traditional IKEA experience that customers know and love. Upon entering the ground level, visitors will step into a uniquely London-inspired space with expansive home inspiration alongside curated shops co-created with Londoners to reflect the city, and our own, unique character and style. Taking the escalator one floor down, shoppers will discover inspirational and innovative roomsets. A specially designed home planning hub will offer complimentary one-to-one design consultations with our home furnishing experts, helping customers realise their perfect kitchen or optimise their bedroom storage. The floor is also home to the 130-seater Swedish Deli, where visitors can take a break to enjoy some of our classics (including meatballs!) The retail journey will culminate on the lowest floor in the market hall. Of the 6,000 product lines on display throughout the store, customers will find a curated selection of 3,500 home furnishing accessories and small furniture available for immediate take away. For any larger furniture pieces which won’t fit into a FRAKTA (or on the tube!), or to purchase any other product in our 10,000-strong range, this can be done in store for delivery or collection from a broad network of pick-up points. Of today’s announcement, Peter Jelkeby, CEO and CSO, IKEA UK and Ireland says: “We have worked carefully to ensure we maintain the character of this historic building whilst creating a modern retail environment for customers to explore and be inspired. London is an iconic shopping destination, and we are thrilled to now have a home in its centre. IKEA Oxford Street’s location complements our network of stores in London – and beyond – and allows us to be closer to where our customers live, work and shop, while importantly being easily accessible by foot or public transport. We look forward to welcoming you in.” #IKEA #OxfordStreet #TheWonderfulEveryday Peter Jelkeby, Laura Cerqueira, Jakob Bertilsson, Michael Hawkins, Salma Azad, Martyn Allan, Kym Bradbury, Darren Taylor, Jitesh Patel, Constantinos Mourouzides, Donna Moore, Matt Gould, Carole Breen
