Kungens Kurva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kungens Kurva (literally, "The King's Bend") is a part of Huddinge Municipality in Metropolitan Stockholm, Sweden. The entire area consists mainly of large buildings with stores; in Kungens Kurva you find for instance supermarkets, electronics/hardware retailers and the world's largest IKEA store. The area got its name September 28th, 1946 when king Gustav V's chauffeur-driven 1939 Cadillac skidded off the road and ended up in a ditch. (The king was uninjured.) The name became official later. Kungens Kurva is close to Skärholmen, with subway to Stockholm City.
