Rating des Ortes: 4 Shoreditch, London, United Kingdom
In my dreams, I shop at Sainsburys Islington, in reality, I go to the rubbish Tesco at Liverpool Street because I don’t drive and can’t face catching two buses each way to the holy grail of weekly food shopping destinations, Sainsburys Islington. We’re hard done by supermarket wise us Shoreditch residents. Sure, there’s a health food store here and a Tesco Express there but we don’t really have our own supermarket. A thousand and one places to buy a vodka tonic? Sure. A place to stock up on food essentials? In your dreams. The closest thing we have is Sainsburys Islington and boy is it a good supermarket. Great deli and meat sections, a good range of produce, hard to find health foods and a diet busting bakery all conspire to make us Shoreditch residents wish we resided in N1 instead. This place makes a mockery of Tesco with its superior quality and similar prices and all things considered, it’s probably worth non-Islington residents going to Sainsbury’s Islington every week or so and just catching a cab home. It’s that good.
