London will soon be home to a new brand of smaller IKEA concept store.

The Swedish furniture giant is opening a smaller-format store at White Oaks Mall, with a planned launch in fall 2026.

At about one-fifth the size of a traditional IKEA, this new concept is built for quick visits—featuring around 2,000 essentials you can grab and go, plus room displays, planning services, and yes… IKEA food.

Shoppers will still be able to order the full catalog online with delivery or pickup options.
