James PWJanuary 7, 2015Croydon B power station was demolished in 1991 and an IKEA store was opened on the site. Two large chimneys were retained and remain a local landmark.
Julia KateJanuary 4, 2016Love it here! Superb for inspiration, storage ideas & even stationery supplies. If you want to skip the mock up rooms though go direct to market hall as u exit the restaurant. :)Upvoted Feb 10
Benjamin 🚀January 12, 2016You can come before they officially open to browse the selections and beat the crowds. Make sure to bring a tape measure and don't miss a chance to dine on some of the famous Ikea meatballs! 😄🇬🇧🏢
Tutti QuintellaJanuary 9, 2016Huge variety of furniture and housewares from very cheap to pricey, good quality. Go, buy there and depending on where you live, take a taxi to go home and have your stuff delivered at the same time!
If you know what you need, download the app and add items to your shopping list to hit the warehouse with all the locations. No need to wander trough the showroom.
Lucy MannallSeptember 22, 2013Make sure you grab a hot dog and refillable drink at the end after the tills. Such good value! 60p for a small (which is actually quite large)
DaniApril 4, 2017All of the meatballs. Go first thing Saturday morning and it's not overcrowded. Have a list. Buy everything and then easy lunch.
Roxanne BennettJanuary 12, 2014Plan to be here all day! Great pieces for the home and some great prices. If you don't want the kids annoying you while you shop...there's a play area at the entrance for 3-10yr olds.
Can't go wrong with meatballs and chips. Oh and they sell furniture too
A place where u can find affordable contemporary design. There's no place like IKEA....
A JJanuary 15, 201299p for kids fish and chips, £3.75 for an adult portion. I say two kids portions and you get more than an adult portion. Do the math
Paul WrightNovember 1, 2013If you are heading straight to the self serve section and want to skip the marketplace, there is a secret passage from the kitchen section to the lighting section. Not so secret any more.
Gerri GJanuary 13, 2013Get a hotdog on the way out and a drink that you can keep refilling. The lingonberry juice is delish. The frozen cinnamon rolls are ace
Vic CasambrosDecember 22, 2012If you have the option... Goto Ikea in Tottenham! The staff there are much friendlier and the food is loads cheaper too!!!
Rob NightingaleDecember 1, 2012Saturday morning fry up at Ikea from 10 till 11am. 8 items for only £2.95. What's not to like?
Meatballs. Elderflower cordial. Chocolate muffin. And then go crazy in the marketplace.
Ikea gave an estimated time of between 11.30am to 3.30pm for delivery. It is now close to 9pm and they have yet to deliver. So yeah, avoid.
Make sure you have an Ikea hot dog while you're here! It's super yummy and not to mention only costs 60p!- Store opens at 10am mon-fri but get here early and get some breakfast use your ikea family card for a discount.
Adam SmithOctober 28, 2010You can just pick up a mug or glass from a discarded tray and use that for refills if you are feeling really, really tight. If not it's only 70p for unlimited cold drinks and 80p for hot ones.
It is virtually impossible to enter this place and get out in under 30mins. 1min to find the item, 29mins trying to find the exit.
☆Lee MyhaJune 14, 2015always love going here, most little home stuff like candles and mirrors are so cheap.
Eric WahinyaAugust 31, 2021One good thing to remembered Before shopping Having “meatball”…. it Seems l Still do less shopping even though it not a food supermarket… Maybe it could be meatballs..
Richard JagdharJuly 3, 2012It's just not a furniture store - grab a bite to eat in the restaurant, its good value for money and the cakes are awesome.
Vb SinApril 29, 2012The pasta with tomato sauce was a let down. Though this store is still the best branch in the London vicinity.
Go on a Tuesday afternoon, find yourself a sofa, lie down and listen to some of the 90s cheesiest hits.
Nice big ikea, but they don't have the full range here, not sure why...
Ritchie BearfieldJanuary 22, 2012Those paninis are always cold in the middle! Get them to put it in a second time!
- It's an Ikea, limited vegetarian options in the restaurant but some good cakes.
Smaland for children is free for an hour - big queues during peak times though
- The toilets can be much cleaner! Flush needs to be changed. *tsk* *tsk*
Chris BerryOctober 6, 2010Get there before 15:00 on a weekday (if possible) and the place is pretty much empty.
Family deals in restaurant. Kids menu great value and lots of choice
Darryl ChapmanOctober 31, 2013Very sad that the Lamb Shank not on the menu tonight :( would like to say that the alternatives were ok; but not gonna say that. Sorry IKEA :(
