What it's like to go clubbing in an old Ikea?
Available for over a year
For many of those who go to London's new 15,000-capacity superclub Drumsheds, it won't be the first time they've stepped inside the huge building. That's because the Edmonton warehouse used to house Ikea's UK flagship store. The Swedish furniture-maker closed this branch in 2022, leaving behind a 608,000 sq ft (56,485m sq) space. Now, its familiar aisles and showrooms have been replaced by panoramic screens, high-quality sound systems and immersive light displays in three rooms that can accommodate all types of dance music. Â鶹Éç Radio London's Salma El-Wardany hears from some of the first punters to experience the space, plus she finds out how the project came about, from the CEO of of the Night Time Industries Association, Michael Kill.
