Ikea is finally opening its delayed Oxford Street store on Thursday amid the “rejuvenation” of the area as a shopping destination.
The world’s largest furniture retailer has taken over the former Topshop base in the capital to open a three-floor outlet selling around 6,000 products, of which 3,500 can be carried away by customers immediately, and the rest ordered for home delivery, click and collect or collection off site from lockers and other pick-up points.
