On | Close to B&Q (see above) but turn left upon entering Holywood Exchange (rather than right). The newly opened (December '07) Ikea has a multi-story open-roof car park that offers great views of runways 4 and 22. Unfortunately the multi-story car park is closed to cars on weekdays but you can park on the ground level and walk up the stairs to the top floor. Local enthusiasts have a reasonable understanding with Ikea management and spotters/photographers are generally tolerated. On weekends you should be able to park your car right beside the fence on level 3. If it is busy, you might not get a space overlooking the runway, but this would be fairly uncommon. This place is ideal for those who like to spot from the car with the SBS radar box alongside! | ||
Expect a few weird looks from the public if photographing, but you shouldn't get bothered by Ikea staff. Overall, the multi-story is only open during store opening hours - on a Sunday this means you won't get onto the carpark top level until around 1300hrs. | |||
