It boasts a Swedish delicatessen serving hot and cold traditional delicacies including Smorrebrod open sandwiches, Nordic Chicken Caesar and Swedish Mazarin – as well as the iconic Ikea meatballs in both meat and meat free varieties.
IKEA is yet to reveal when its Tottenham store will close, but management have said that they hope to reposition all 450 employees that currently work there.
The closure follows an extensive assessment of its UK stores.
IKEA stated: “Last year, online represented almost half of the retailers’ total sales and the demand for different services as well as convenient deliveries accelerated.”
Consequently, the retailer will open a new store in Dartford, Kent this December, providing round the clock delivery across the capital.
