    Hey, for the prices we pay here, and considering the acceptable food quality; the authentic cinnamon rolls; the trendy, presentable furniture; one should think thrice before moaning. Great place!

    Free coffee during week days if you have a family card. And you need to try this desert its fantastic, not sure what its called, but you won't be disappointed.

    If you live in North London and spend over £500 a minicab is cheaper and quicker than delivery... And you get a lift home!

    1) virtually no mobile phone reception2) Most people dont follow the traffic flow3) 95% of people visit as a couple, family or group of friends. You barely see someone walking around by themseleves.

    Go early morning during the week. It's quieter and you can get a free coffee with a family card.

    Stroll trough the shop on an early morning, before the crowd gets in, spot and try everything. Go home and order online. It's really stress free that way.

    The cheapest and nicest frames around. I'm also partial to an IKEA lever jar.

    Lots and lots of choice! But, expect to leave with stuff you didn't intend to buy. Normally, tea light candles!!

    Get a trolley before you can't lift your yellow bag no more. Gravity is a bitch.

    Customer returns. Take a ticket, wait 15 mins, or longer if people in front have 100 bits to be individually checked.

    Allow plenty of time to get through the tills and think of the money you are saving by them not employing more staff. :-)

    Filthy toilets and restaurant tables. For such a store, the standards should be way above what I'm experiencing

    When I was there the place was a bit messy and disorganized. Other Ikeas are better run... But Ikea stuff is always nice anyways.

    If you're buying heavy stuff and need home delivery get there early. Queue on average is about an hour, hour and a half.
