They sell a small range of convience store food, like cheese, hams, noodles, etc etc. They also do great deals on beer and wine. They offer local store deals like 6 premium lagers in cans like Stella Artois for a fiver. You are always quickly served in this store and I have even bartered before when I have been short on cash. This independent store is great. I would recommend if you are arriving in this area for a party that you save getting a bottle or two until you get here. This store is quite big and has quiet a range.

Expect prices to be slightly more expensive than the supermarkets, but the quality of what they sell is generally very good. You can pay by card if you spend more than £5.

Due to its location on Tower Bridge, you can also get a selection of London miniatures and an assortment of international chocolate bars. I'd avoid the pre-prepared foods, though. They're all a bit dodge.

This place in handy and worth noting in the area specifically because it's open 24 hours. Only a…read morehop, skip and jump from tube station and right beside the number 8 bus-stop. They stock basic grocer supplies - you can get most things here; milk, bread, breakfast cereal, sauces. There's a good batch of fruit and veg outside. Wide range of beers and wines and most importantly - all the different varieties of Haribo mixes (which earns extra respect in my book!) It's a nice local and staff are friendly and actually abit madbut in a good way. They have most phone top-ups, but don't do any travelcards,Oysters, etc Only stock one local newspaper.

What I love about City View Food and Wine in Bethnal Green is the…read more fact that it has a 24 hour alcohol licence so they can sell alcoholic beverages (beers, wines, spirits.) right through the night, 7 days a week, thanks to the 24 hour drinking laws. If you are looking for a 24 hour off licence, this is the place to go. Apart from that, it's just a normal small supermarket / corner shop. You can find more 24 hour off licences on the 24 Hour Alcohol website: 24 Hour Off Licences & Booze Delivery (http://www.24houralcohol.co.uk/) .

Despite being compact, I've found the selection to be pretty decent and they have some very nice wines (which is why I most often visit). The only real downer is the self-operated check outs, which seem less reliable than those in other stores. Staff have always been helpful, though.

Also a surprisingly good selection of beer and wine for such a small store. The staff are super friendly. I always get a smile and a thank you when I buy stuff there, and it doesn't even feel superficial. Also, the staff are really good about helping you find things - they really know their stock, so if you do have trouble finding something in the vast array of items, just ask. I'd do all my shopping here if I could - the only thing they lack is fresh meat and fish, for which I have to face the much less pleasing Sainsbury's down the road.

Paresh, the owner, is a legend…read more No matter what you go in and ask for, he'll find it or pick it up at the cash and carry that afternoon. It's always had a comprehensive organic section too including organic wine (remarkably hangover free after that stuff) and is open from approx 7:00am to 7:30pm daily. Stock is piled up from the floor to ceiling to cram as many lines as possible in (take down a packet of plain flour and you'll probably find self-raising behind it so if the intuitive nature of shopping isn't for you, just ask Paresh. Whatever it is, he'll probably have it somewhere in this little Aladdin's cave). Newspapers, sandwiches, sweets, household goods. Best corner shop ever.

This was my first and only Sainsbury's to visit during my 2nd week of September 2011 trip to…read moreLondon, which was my first trip to London, the UK, and Europe for that matter. The store is very small, about the size of a London Drug's in Canada or a Walgreen's in the US. There is not a lot of variety of products as compared to North American stores where you may typically find 3-6 brand names of a particular product or product line. The prices, accounting for currency conversion, are on par with those at a 7-Eleven or other convenience store. The store hours are from 0700 to 2300, though 4 different times, I was able to enter after 2300 and purchase items. The staff was friendly on each visit. The location is perfect as it is 1 block from London Underground's Bayswater Station, 3 blocks from the Queensway Station,and 2 blocks from the Hilton and Hyde Park Inn & Suites which is great for tourists. I do like this area and will be visiting the store again on my next trip. I recommend this for those whom are new to the area to get an idea about prices and such.
