Ikea

This IKEA is relatively new... remember the news story about people getting stabbed when they opened it at midnight!?!.. well I'm pleased to say things have improved since then for this store. It is by far and away the best branch of IKEA in the country, and I have been to a lot of them. Even on a Sunday (when most of the country seem to worship at the church of IKEA) this one is pretty bearable. Ample parking, a well laid out store with plenty of shortcuts through to other sections, helpful staff and you don't have to wait til you turn 80 to collect stuff from the pick-up point. It's all good.

Believe it or not going to Ikea can actually be a interesting day out. For those of you travelling by public transport there's the 192 bus or there's a free Ikea shuttle bus from tottenham hale tube station. Beside the usual furniture and homeware that you would expect to see from Ikea you will also find a child care facility, a cafe, restaurant and a food market. Before you know it you would have spent hours there.

It can be quite a bit tricky to locate where this branch of ikea is in london. however it is possible to catch a free Ikea shuttle bus from Tottenham Hale Station!! and the ride is only 10 minutes. This store is worth paying a trip to because it is gianticly huge and they sell out sorts of products for your home. you won't feel like leaving this store empty handed.

This Ikea has only been open for a few years. It was the store that had riot when it open offering massive opening day discounts. So I was expecting something bad. What I found was a clean and pleasant Ikea. It had a largw Cafe, Creche and a big car park. The staff were friendly and useful although you need a map to navigate the floors its that big. The downside of this place is its still a mile away from the nearest tube (Tottenham Hale) so its best to get a bus there.
