Tesco Metro

Was a regular customer but this has become lousy place. They offer meal deals but systems are badly maintained and change often, this discounts are not given. If you complain, you hsve to wait gor ages but assistants rather care for lottery tickets.
Very bad shop, cannot recommend shopping here

I hadn’t been here in a while. Needed to get some items for lunch the next day so stopped in. Hey, Hey… 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!

It’s definitely stepped up its game as of late, but I just don’t love this place… especially with a Waitrose not too terribly far away. Say what you will, but like for like products tend to be a similar price between the two in my opinion… perhaps I just buy the wrong things! (Okra though, I’ll give Tesco that… it’s much cheaper in here and while I pop in at least once a week.)
I don’t dread going here as much as I used to, but it is what it is… the real downer after the first couple of visits was the service… it seemed like there was a problem or issue each time and trying to get it sorted (even if it was not of my doing, i.e. self checkout gone crazy) it was like getting teeth pulled and when help did come it was nods and grunts more than actual communication… that’s a big turn off for me anywhere. That said, this aspect does seem to have gotten slightly better… but just.
They have a fun little import section with American goodies… hands off the Beaver Brand Extra Hot Jalapeño Mustard by the way, it’s all MINE! ;-)
If you’re in the area there’s no harm in popping in if you need to pick up a few things, by now I’m sure you’ll know what you’re in for! As another reviewer has said though, if you really want to have a wandering type of grocery shop you’re better off hitting the Waitrose not terribly far from here.

One of the more annoying branches of Tesco because I fail from the get-​go. I always instinctively want to turn left off the escalators to go in, only to hit the exit. The entrance is on the right.
Once you’re inside they have a decent selection for a smaller branch of Tesco, but unless you’re trying to save the pennies you’re much better off going to Waitrose.

It’s definitely not a Whole Foods… spend your money elsewhere where they actually care about what they do and how things are presented and where the produce is from.

Reasonable size Tesco’s but often runs out of «stock» at the weekend

I’m a fan of this place…
How do I review this without sounding like a total American?! Oh well, bite me. It’s like Safeway… plenty of them everywhere, stuff on sale, and they have everything you’d want for groceries.
Service is about the same as Safeway, they’re around, just gotta ask.
Produce is good, prices are good, and plenty of selection.
Check out with a clerk is fine, but self-​checkout is much better. (Their kiosks seem to function much better than the ones in the States… lol, as I did not have to curse and get PO’d at ‘em!)

Did my initial run of shopping after work one night. Picked up some easy dinners for my first week in town. Got some of the prepared BBQ chicken, which was warm and really tasty. Picked up some beer, pasta, sauce and a little candy.
The service took forever. Which was the main reason for dropping to three stars. There were plenty of registers open and a relatively small queue. Yet, it took me almost as long to pay as it did for me to gather my food.
For convenience, it works.

The one place to buy cheap sandwiches and food in Canary Wharf (even though the items in this Tesco’s are priced higher than other mainstream stores in the country!), it is very much cheaper than Waitrose and to be honest, I personally have not noticed much difference in quality.
Lots of self check out counters, although I have found a lot of them are now faulty, which means the self check out queue builds up longer.
One tip — for those of you who have a manufacturer voucher to use, the staff in this branch of Tesco’s are very ready to dismiss them outright. If you really did get it from the manufacturer through the post, stand your ground and get them to call head office or another branch — happened to me last time and the store manager had to back down after being spoke to by his superior.

If you are in need of an alternative to the highly priced (but admittedly nice) waitrose, then it is worth venturing upstairs in the shopping center and popping into tesco. Its a fair sized shop considering it is a metro — has most of what you will need (although the frozen food section is a bit on the light side) from food to magazines with a few dvd and book options thrown in for good measure. Surprisingly, it has never been hugely busy when i’ve been there and there are always lots of people on the checkout which mean the queue goes down quickly. There’s a bakery section, as well as the fruit and veg section which tends to be very well stocked. Yep its a good alternative to Waitrose

I love this Tesco. As in all things in Canary Wharf it has been executed in style. It plays pop videos on a big screen near the bread I don’t know why but its great. It sells everything you need in a smaller to medium size shop and is handily very close to the station so no need to lug your shopping very far.

This Tesco is tucked away in the maze of underground and shopping centre in the business district.
Its great to be able to stop for a snack or grab some bags of shopping on the way home.
It’s surprising how big this store is.
With a separate lotto counter.
There’s also self service checkouts at the back of the store.

A nice little Tesco which is very easy to get to! (it being at Canary Wharf)
The store is surprisingly well stocked considering it is a ‘Metro’ and similarly to all the other Tesco stores, it is very well priced!
The sheer amount of self checkouts is fantastic and I’ve never had to wait for more than 5 minutes to checkout (NB: I’ve never ventured there at lunch time, expect a delay at lunch!)
