Ikea takes sustainability to a new level in south east London

It’s the half term holiday, and Ikea is providing diversion for kids in south east London with a giant remote control bath toy which is also cleaning up the waterways.

You can book sessions to captain the two “environmental protection boats,” which are replicas of Ikea’s SMAKRYP toy and clean up 20kg of rubbish at a time. There’s also a recycled plastic workshop for kids looking to save the planet during school holidays.

As well as a roof terrace and community gardens, it has solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and a geothermal heating system.
