An unexpectedly large Waitrose store in Canada Place of London's business district, Canary Wharf -…read moreit is over multiple floors and has much more than what one would expect from Waitrose including a home and clothes section - which one would associate more with Waitrose's sister brand, John Lewis. They did have a pretty large selection in most areas I looked at the store including with desserts, yoghurts (Pots and Co!), to-go food and fruit juices, the latter was actually quite reasonably priced for a freshly squeezed juice. The store did seem to have an annoying habit of making announcements regularly, it felt like I couldn't walk down an aisle without "DING DONG DING DONG", eventually I muttered to myself "Welcome to Waitrose Canary Wharf please note... announcement for..." etc, I get they do need to do this but so constantly is just really irritating. The café area could have been larger however but I was overall impressed with this store in a useful location for Canary Wharf's shopping centres and tube/DLR stations. 4*

How does this happen? The food quality is always good and competitive with Marks & Spencer. There's dining to the rear of the lower ground (behind the supermarket). The rotisserie and curry section is VERY popular and good value with office workers popping out at lunchtime. The seating gets really busy at this time too, so best to come early if you dont want to fight for a seat. There's also a yummy oyster bar to the right and a wine bar to the left (the selection is very good). Street level has something for the ladies: handbags, jewellery, shoes, lingerie (I've been pulled in all directions of this place). Then there's toys, travel goods and sportswear. Go up another level to find TV and electricals, furniture, bathroom accessories, soft furnishing, garden furniture, stationery and seasonal Christmas decorations. Oh boy, how do I know all this off by heart? I get all loved up when I shop at Waitrose...a bit sad, but true.

They have a more than decent selection of higher quality men's and women's clothing at the usual Marks and Sparks prices (i.e., high). A sufficient number of tills ("cash registers" in American) and associates ready to help you pay for your purchases. There is also a small food hall with prepared sandwiches and drinks for the lunch crowd. It does a good job of taking in to account its very urban location, so it doesn't have some departments like children's clothing and housewares. It's more of a commercial neighborhood not very residential.

Marks & Spencer's Islington store is surely crying out for a refurb, the store has fallen to a…read moreshockingly dire and poor state to the point I can only recall seeing a store this badly forgotten in the Marks & Spencer branch elsewhere before in Rochdale, a small town in Manchester. You can enter the store two-ways through street level, one of them you enter through a box style store crowded with fashion and then a slow, small lift (or set of stairs) to get upstairs, again I can't understand why the lift is so low (there's only one) considering there is three levels the lift could go to - so if you are using the food hall I would suggest walking along the street and going in through there to save time. The selection of fresh selection in store was really bad, it was mainly pre-packaged which for a Marks & Spencer store was pretty dissapointing and uncommon for the brand, at many times it felt just like a Simply Food store. The "Services" offered by the store is also tiny, they lack a currency exchange, Cafe and more. The Food Hall area is also pretty cramped. It seems Islington has really badly fallen behind in terms of quality of stores with the only option being a Uniqlo store which is pretty good, yet still not spectacular compared to the rest of London. This store is pretty much the best of the three supermarkets in Islington centre from a food point of view and they did have a large sandwich selection (sadly gluten-free food excluded), to warrant a very generous two-star rating.

The story here is like something out of The Apprentice.

After a mini heart attack, I quickly explained my predicament to the staff who went over and above and beyond to help and assist me. For the food that required cooking, they took those back and said that I could choose anything from their selection there and to replace it. Having saved my life (and my job) I hastily chose (rather prudently this time) selected items that were ready to serve and were worthy enough for corporate clients. The staff were just amazing, in particular Anthony and Elinor who helped me with where I needed to go, what selection I could opt for and facilitated and administered the exchanges accordingly. I cannot praise them enough and if I could, I would give them 10 out of 10. Excellent customer service. Thanks a million again.

The store has a much smaller footprint than their flagship enterprise in Piccadilly, and so. Stall focuses on teas and coffees, biscuits and treats, jams and confectionary.

There were even dried fruits? They looked so cute! I didn't go to the top floors but my friend went to the bottom floor to pay bc there were too many people. And there were pastries! Oh my oh my, I couldn't resist! It all looked so good too! But I was able to control myself and only got a cheese scone and fig fruit tart. It's just something I never had before. The fruit tart was a little sweet but good. The cheese scone smelled great but I haven't tried it. I don't have room for it yet. This will also be an ideal place to get some souvenirs for your folks too.

I've heard "that shop down the road" on many many occasions. Anyway, this is our go-to shop at work. There are plenty of other convenience shops nearby, even a Sainsbury's, but this remains the staff favourite. They sell all kinds of stuff you never knew you needed. A coworker of mine enjoys a sandwich from their deli counter every day. I've stopped by several times for some delicious soup, an odd can of tuna here and there, and (when I'm feeling extravagant) some halva. If you don't know about Halva, get out now. It's delicious and probably an acquired taste but I LOVE it. I want to bathe in it. This shop definitely has an advantage over some of the smaller convenience stores dotted around the area in that it's independently owned, is much larger, and has a much better selection and value.
