Ikea London Closing Times: Your Guide to Not Getting Locked In (with Meatballs)
Ah, Ikea. A labyrinthine wonderland of flat-pack furniture, questionable names (hömnsk?), and the ever-present allure of those sweet, sweet meatballs. But here's the thing, fellow furniture enthusiast: even meatballs have a bedtime, and so do Ikea stores in London!
The Great Ikea Closing Time Caper
There are actually three Ikea locations in the Greater London area, each with slightly different closing times:
- Ikea Wembley: This titan of flat-pack fun closes at 10 pm Wednesday through Tuesday.
- Ikea Greenwich: Calling all South Londoners! This store closes at 9 pm Wednesday through Tuesday.
- Ikea Hammersmith: This little (well, little for Ikea) store with a focus on kitchens and planning has the earliest closing time at 8 pm Wednesday through Tuesday.
Important Side Note:
- Sundays are a bit of a different beast. All Ikea stores in London have slightly earlier closing times on Sundays, so plan your Swedish meatball extravaganza accordingly!
Don't Be That Person:
We've all seen them - the poor souls sprinting through the Ikea maze at closing time, arms full of half-assembled bookshelves and a look of sheer panic on their faces. Don't be that person! Here's a handy tip: Ikea tends to wind down things about 30 minutes before closing, so keep an eye on the clock and don't get too engrossed in that perfect throw pillow selection.
