Located next door to the hotel I was staying at in Kensington. It had all the amenities I would…read moreneed for my week long stay in London. Plus, they had snacks and full meals available at the cafe upstairs. This was so convenient staying here and having this Tesco. It's essentially like having the American equivalent of a Safeway grocery store in the neighborhood. Plenty of self check out stands to zip in ad zip out with your essentials. Plenty of products to select from. Decent pricing, considering you're in London.

This is one of the smaller versions of the M&S 'Simply Food' store, a few minutes' walk from the…read moremain exit of Earl's Court underground station, with long opening hours. The range here is a bit limited, especially on straightforward basics, so you couldn't substitute it for your normal food shopping, unless you live on M&S ready meals. (And it would be ruinously expensive to try.) But they do have a reasonable fruit and veg section, and a huge selection of said ready-meals. In addition, they always have lots of tempting chocolates and cakes alongside the single queue to the checkouts, so clearly the marketing folk have been doing their stuff. It's a great place to watch the 'pester power' of the offspring of Chelsea and Kensington in action. For me, it's good for the odd treat for special occasions, emergency shopping, and their reliable wine selection. And entertainment, as Araminta delivers that flawlessly executed tantrum in a bid for a white chocolate rabbit...

It is pricey though. You have a decent selection of veggies, meats, ready to eat meals, breads, frozen, dairy, cheeses selections. It is a bit hard to distinguish different aisle form one another but at the end you find what you are looking for. They key here is you can go in and out very fast with the their automatic cashier system, and somewhat small store footprint. I go there for quick errands at the end of the day.

I'm not quite sure how to review this place. "3.5 stars" feels like the rating I want but since…read morethat's not an option, I'll bump it up to 4 stars. The location to surrounding area is amazing. The family and I were vacationing in South Kensington and this store was ideally located. It's a grocery store that has all the essentials... and more. And by "more", I mean seemingly random stuff like an aisle of non-branded shirts... and a convenience station which apparently provides shoe repair? Item selection for things (particularly vegetables and fruits) seems a little sparse. But admittedly I'm a tourist so perhaps that's expected for the area, climate, and time of year. Checkout is slightly disorganized (again, probably a "tourist ignorance" thing). Recyclable bags are available for pickup on a rail while walking through self-checkout. There's an automated gate that requires a receipt barcode to be scanned before exit is permitted. Ultimately I think this is a store that's 90% grocery store and 10% variety store. Nothing wrong with that but it was just a little surprising.

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.

Tip: The peanut brittle and croissants are yummy…read more I tend to visit a grocery store whenever I'm travelling. Being in London in December 2013 was no different. I frankly haven't changed much over the years. I stayed in South Kensington. I loved it. Across from Gloucester Road tube station was this Waitrose. It had everything that I needed. I tend to get lemons and make lemon tea in the morning. Waitrose had lemons, so I got three that lasted my entire stay. The baked goods section is excellent. I got croissants here. They were flaky, buttery, and yummy. I got some peanut brittle, too. It was so good. Butter tends to make anything taste better. I remember seeing self-checkouts here. I ended up wanting a human. He was great. I paid with a credit card. It worked perfectly. I'm so glad that this Waitrose still exists. It was a good grocery store that had everything I needed while I was here for a week. (38)

Imagine a product experience so horrible that a supervisor has to come over and swipe their card every fifteen seconds.

Don't support this madness. Go to another store

The focus on ingredients is mainly Filipino, with a selection of both freshly made sweet and savoury street style dishes to take home.

Just like in the US, there are lots of hot dishes and cold meal options to choose from in the self-serve area. Healthy options and some favourites, like mac & cheese and even cod bites! Highly recommend and not everything is as expensive as I expected so it's definitely worth checking their sales. Their soups are great too!

The store is really impressive and has a great selection of high-quality products with a shopping environment that is both clean and welcoming, the prices are high for sure with Whole Foods being more of a premium brand so you wouldn't want to do a whole weekly shop here, but if you're looking for some interesting, unique or high-end products this place can certainly do the job. Despite the size of the store, it was well laid out and easy to find what I was looking for without the need for staff assistance there was also a dedicated area for Amazon orders and returns, with Amazon of course owning Whole Foods. The Kensington Kitchen, Wine Bar and unique food offerings make this a nice place to shop. 4*
