As convenience stores go, this is one of the best I have ever seen in regards to produce. The…read morestorekeepers have thought of everything, including random items you'd otherwise struggle to find. With a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables outside the front of the store, this is one of few convenience outlets you can purchase something healthy and fresh. The inside of the store is set up superbly with a useful selection things you would find in a supermarket. With the incredible booze selection you'd be forgiven for thinking the people of Kentish Town had a drink problem. Saying that on the night I popped into Everbest Food and Wine there was a lady careering across Kentish Town Road clearly out of her mind, unable to see the big shiny metal death wagons hurtling towards her. Luckily her not quite so smashed friend who had a glass of Lambrini or two less, dragged her to the safety of the pavement. The downside of this well provisioned independent store is the inflated prices. There seems to be a trend of local stores selling food stuffs at a much higher price than the supermarkets. Thus if you have the energy, it is worth your while checking out the branded stores down the road. But if you are just after a quick compulsive buy, Everbest is excellent.

Ok this is where my happiness ends. I really do not like Tesco Express, 'Metro' supermarkets that are essentially a fancy convenience store. The Kentish Town Tesco does not have a large range of products and they are far more expensive than there proximal competition. Maybe I am just growing an unnecessary dislike to chain stores. If I have to use one I'll go to Iceland or Somerfield that better for my pocket.

There is nothing that makes this store worth travelling miles just to see (it is, after all, just a grocer-type place) but when your are here you'll see that it is worthy of it's four stars. It does indeed sell everything you would expect of a convenience store - with a healthy alcohol section (substantial, not necessarily good for you) - but that should only really equate to 3 stars in my eyes. The fourth star is awarded for the level of cleanliness and the sense of order here at G Express. ALL of the aisles are well stocked with a large variety of goods, neat, tidy well arranged. But the best part of it is that G Express became the first place where it was so clean I could see my own reflection in the floor! THE FLOOR! Alright, it's not like looking straight into a mirror but the are definite outlines and facial features visible, I could clearly see me - in the floor! Awesome floor. That aside, the staff are all quite chilled and friendly and an impressive modern computer system is running there which includes a large flat-screen TV which doubles up as their CCTV when their not watching football or their favourite show.
