London’s Hottest New Superclub Was Once An IKEA

An IKEA store in Tottenham North London has been transformed into London’s latest music venue. 

When IKEA closed its 608,000 square metre superstore in Tottenham, Broadwick Live, the people behind East London superclub Printworks, jumped in and secured the vast warehouse. 

Broadwick have now transformed the huge space, once famous for its flat packs and meatballs, into a massive nightclub called Drumshed, with a capacity of 15,000 people. 

It will be one of the biggest nightclubs in the world. 

“Everything’s on a much bigger scale than what we’ve done before,” says Broadwick Live’s Ebony Rhiney-James. “But really exciting, [it’s a] really interesting space, and we feel like we’ve been able to put our own stamp on it.”

Drumsheds open its doors for the first time on October 14^th 2023. 

Printworks closed on May 1^st 2023 after 6 successful years due to redevelopment in its Surrey Quays home, so this new club is a welcome addition to London’s club scene. 

Drumsheds has three dancefloors, five different bars and a huge outdoor space with food stalls. 

Those who fondly remember visiting IKEA and eating their meatballs will be happy to learn that the café has not been destroyed – it’s just been converted into a bar.
