I love this supermarket-its well laid out and as a gOod selection of items as as a self service check out.

I love Sainsburys in general. They’re super convenient, well-stocked with good products, and everyone is very friendly. Not to mention how easy it is to get your hands on free-range eggs, organic produce, etc.(though that’s more the case in England in general). Came here a few times during my stay for various things and always had a very pleasant experience. Good job!

Just dire. I know there’s lots of competition from sandwich bars further along Upper Street, but there’s actually very little immediately near this outlet, yet their sandwich and snack selection was the most meagre I’ve ever seen in a Sainsbury’s Local, or any similar corner shop version of a main line supermarket. Veggies were restricted to a choice of two sandwiches, no veggie pasties, and they had no flapjacks or similar cakes unless you wanted to a buy a box. A friendly chap at the checkout was the only compensation. The fact the shop was empty at lunchtime in a central London location probably says it all — I was the only customer.

Sick. No, not you … me. I’m sick like I haven’t been sick in years. Worse yet, my body can’t decide what kind of sick it wants to be. Stomach Flu? Tried that for a bit. Headaches? Check — that was fun. Coughing? Sneezing? Sinus infection? Welcome to last week. Now we’ve moved into the fever-chills-achy-can’t-piece-thoughts-together zone. Awesome. And while I’m still adjusting to the fact that grocery stores outside of the US expect people to only get sick during working hours AND don’t stock many cold and flu items, I must say that I am ever so thankful that you stay open until 11pm. Every night. Even Sunday.(GASP!!) That means I can load up on my vitamin C, soup, crackers, herbal tea, and a few random antiseptics when I’m actually feeling the sickest.(Because perhaps I’m not the only person in the world who is sick after 6pm on Sundays. Just sayin’.)

Fairly inviting at the front, but gets more tired as you head back. It’s funny, I love the larger Sainburies, but these smaller branches just don’t seem to do it for me. They tend to leave out the value basic and more unusual ranges that make the big stores good. Layout is a little restrictive too, with a huge aisle virtually the length of the store and the checkout queue often extending round a corner out of view of the checkouts themselves. Gaps in the shelves and open space at the front would make it more inviting.
