Contenders in the Colosseum of Kit
London boasts three IKEA locations: Wembley, Greenwich, and Croydon (RIP Tottenham IKEA, we hardly knew ye). Each store is a titan in its own right, but only one can wear the crown (or shall we say, the KRONA lamp?) of the biggest.
- Wembley: This IKEA is a Wembley legend, as iconic as overpriced hot dogs and questionable assembly instructions. It's a sprawling giant, but is it the undisputed champion?
- Greenwich: A challenger emerges! Whispers abound of Greenwich's vastness, but are they just rumors, or is this the true king of Londinium's flat-pack furniture scene?
- Croydon: The dark horse. Don't underestimate Croydon, my friend. It might be the underdog, but could it be harboring a surprising amount of KALLAX shelving?
The Verdict: The Plot Thickens (Like Lingonberry Jam)
Prepare yourselves for a shocking revelation (or maybe not, since, you know, it's IKEA). The truth is, all three stores are roughly the same size! That's right, folks. It seems the size difference between them is akin to the distinction between a STRANDMON chaise longue and a regular chaise longue – negligible to the untrained eye.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
So, what does this mean for you, the intrepid IKEA adventurer? It means focus on what truly matters: meatballs, free pencils, and the sheer joy (or existential dread) of navigating the maze-like showroom.
But wait! There's more! While the size may be a tie, here are some additional factors to consider:
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
- Accessibility: Wembley might be a nightmare to get to by public transport, while Croydon boasts ample parking (if you can handle the Croydon traffic).
- Stock: Check online beforehand – sometimes, a specific store might have what you need, even if it's not the biggest.
- The All-Important Meatball Quality: This is a subjective measure, but hey, everyone has their preferences.

How to Assemble Furniture Without Tears? Patience, my friend. Patience. And maybe a screwdriver that isn't, you know, rubbish.
