IKEA has finally opened on London's iconic Oxford Street today, and after getting a sneak peek of the new store last night, I can say it is more than another store, but the start of a big change in how people like me shop at the Swedish homeware store.
Living in London without a car has meant that shopping at IKEA was largely off limits. My options of footing a delivery fee or trekking out to Wembley or Croydon on public transport put me off the pilgrimage to snap up a £4 spice rack for a budget IKEA hack.
