IKEA trip. Milton Keynes or Reading?

Given the choice, which of these stores would be the best to visit & why?

Google is giving me conflicting info. Although the biggest, isn't always the best is it? 😉

Depends where you’re travelling from really. The Reading one is just off of the M4 junction, but if you’re nearer the M1 then Milton Keynes might be easier

Do you want to go anywhere else close by? There’s a Primark and lovely big Asda around the MK one. And I did enjoy a lunch at TGI Fridays before it got so expensive. It’s a 2 hour trip for us so I make the most of it.

Good point. We'll be travelling from Oxford.

Reading is the easier route, but prepared to head North if MK is better.

MK. Reading is smaller IMO and MK has loads of other shops close by, the world’s biggest Asda next door and Ninja Warrior as well.

We have a LONG IKEA list, so best stick to the Main Goal this time 😆

Great idea though, thanks 🤓
