Who would be affected by an IKEA in Greenwich?
IKEA in Greenwich would not just affect the local residents. It would cause traffic mayhem all around the nearby roads affecting many people such as:
Anyone using the A2 and Blackwall Tunnel
O2 visitors
Residents of Blackheath, Woolwich, Charlton, Lewisham, Deptford and Blackwall.
Charlton Athletic Football Club supporters
We can bet that if you live anywhere in South-East London, you would be impacted by IKEA Greenwich, whether you try and travel around Greenwich or not.
Also, all the tourists who flock to Greenwich to appreciate its architectural and historical heritage will be affected, as one of the main access roads to the planned store passes through Greenwich town centre and directly past the Old Royal Naval College and the Queen's House, designed by Sir Christopher Wren. This area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Site Management Plan recognises that "traffic is the single greatest issue facing Greenwich Town.".
