It's not huge but has a decent selection of products and there are certain things I like more than other supermarkets in the area. First, there is a huge cheese selection - much bigger than even the large grocers in the area. They also have quite a bit of high-end smoked meats. They have very nice looking prepared food, much better than your average Sainsbury's meal deal (although more expensive). Their pastries look beautiful but again are very expensive. They have small sections to cater to dietary restrictions like vegan and gluten free. The store feels very nice and upscale and clean overall. While not as cheap as the other local options and without the variety of the larger stores, it's a welcome addition to the neighbourhood.

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.

It's fine. You can get most things you need here, it's never too crowded, and the staff are nice…read more Since I've moved to the UK Tescos has become part of my weekly routine. Even though I vastly prefer M&S, Waitrose and boutique shops over Tescos, the local branch is closer than everything else so sometimes convenience wins out. Usually the determination on whether or not to go into Tescos is pretty simple: Am I getting a mass produced thing in a can or a box? Tescos is fine. Otherwise, head elsewhere. The produce and meat here is definitely inferior to the nicer stores so you'll want to skip that entirely. Sometimes I can't be bothered so I'll get some meal deal thing here but make no mistake the sandwiches and wraps are several orders of magnitude inferior to M&S so you're going to get what you pay for; if you actually exit a store with "Korean BBQ wrap with cheddar and bacon" then you get what you deserve! I should add that the service at this Tescos is way, way better than some of the smaller stores.

I hadn't been here in a while. Needed to get some items for lunch the next day so stopped in. Hey,…read moreHey...they restyled the place! Before it wasn't too appealing but now it looks pretty good! The layout and aisle organisation has improved and lots more in the way of fresh foods, lunch and bakery items. I had a little smile on my face until I got to the til. Still a confused mess. Loads more and added self serve but still a nightmare of people not moving along, having love affairs at the checkout or confusion as to which side they want to queue on. Get it together!

Shopping at Waitrose is expensive, but it's my nearest major supermarket, so when I can't get what…read moreI need at the local Tesco Express, I go to Waitrose. I only wish I could afford to shop there all the time! The food is of excellent quality and they have an impressive variety too. It's never crowded and the staff are friendly and helpful. They also have a coffee bar near the front of the store and though I've never bought anything from there myself, I have to say the food always look tempting and the coffee smells great.

Becuase even though you're judging me, you're also jealous that I was there and didn't pick *you* up 30 toilet rolls for a tenner or 3 boxes of Crunchy Nut for £7. Or that amazing Kirkland brand trail mix with the fake M&Ms. Or eleventy billion vitamins. But what I would like to add to this seeming useless, uncool review is that they've translated the £1.50 hot dog + soda deal into "English" with the ability to opt for the .50p tea + bakewell tart offer. Keepin' it classy, Costo! Raaaaather! I opted for the beef, as per usual.

It was interesting visiting an English grocery store. First of all this particular store was…read moresmaller than the ones in the United States. Also, English grocery stores aren't laid out the same. For example cookies might be in multiple locations rather than one designated "cookie aisle." Also it was interesting because you had to pay for a shopping cart. They did have a limited number of hand baskets. If they ran out of hand baskets, people would use the bags they brought and add there items into the bags. Then remove them when they got to the counter. It was nice because there weren't long lines, and they had a lot more self-serve kiosks than my local American grocery store.

It was really close to where I was staying which made it very convenient. The store is set up for convenience. Having items that are a quick grab at the front of the store was great. If I missed a meal or needed to grab a snack, I walked into here after getting off the tube and before I was going to my room. I enjoyed the selection they had and found amusement in the American section. I also like the self check outs, making it easier to get out of here once I made my selections.

I made an online purchase, to be delivered on Sunday. It was never delivered, I called customer…read moreservice, they apologized, they refunded the shipping costs and told me that between 3 and 5 days they would refund the amount to my current account. In my Clubacard app it appeared as delivered. On Friday, and because they didn't refund my money, I wrote to the customer service WhatsApp, and they texted me that in the deposit they forgot to make the refund, I complained because 5 days had already passed, and they told me that they would make the refund this same day. The day after, without a refund, I wrote again, and they tell me that I have to wait 3 to 5 more days. What rubbish company is this?. this is a robbery, no other supermarket charges you for a purchase until you receive it, and Tesco does it, bill you for the purchase, or keeps your money unless you claim it.
