Tesco Express

Small as this tesco express might be, they have just about everything one would need. It’s located next door to the Doubletree Hilton hotels off Southampton Row.
Prices are reasonable.
They have everything from cold foods, candies, limited selection of vegetables, canned foods, pastries, etc.

Express by name, but not by nature!
I have never stood in a queue for a longer time than at this Tesco. It is a tiny place and always crowded at all times of the day and night.
It’s popularity is due to it’s 24 hour opening and selection of candy, ready meals and wines There isn’t really a reason to go here unless you’ve forgotten something with your regular shop, or are picking up a quick sandwich or dinner for one.
There is a pharmacy section, very handy if you’re sick and suffering at 2am. Also, if you’re in the market for flowers or celebration cards, there are often an okay range of these but the selection, variety and quality of what it on offer is very variable.
Handy for a pint of milk, but not a good place to do your weekly shop! And be prepared to queue there are never enough staff to man the tills, however they are friendly, perhaps the one redeeming feature of this convenience store.
