Ikea boosts Oxford Street revival with first West End store after £450m investment

Dee Corsi, CEO, New West End Company, said: “Oxford Street has been long recognised as the nation’s high street, and for good reason. More than just a place to shop, it’s a destination – a place where people come to spend the day, explore, and enjoy everything the area has to offer. It has also been undergoing an exciting transformation over the last 18 months. The much-anticipated arrival of IKEA is an important milestone in that evolution, reinforcing the street’s global reputation as an iconic retail destination.”
