Anyone who's been to this Sainsburys Local will know how annoying it is, the aisles are without…read moredoubt the narrowest in any chain supermarket anywhere so much so that to walk past someone you have to both shuffle sideways, and if anyone's actually stopped to look at the shelves then you can imagine what happens! Somehow it still works though, maybe in London we're just used to crowds of people from using the tube and whatnot so you still manage to get in there and get what you need - and they do seem to have almost everything you'd find in a normal Sainsburys Local somehow neatly squashed in there. The bizarre effect it has though is that whenever I go to a different one they always feel so roomy and I feel like I'm in some kind of luxury paradise version with ample room to stroll around without bumping into people!

I like this store. The only other nearby ones have the following problems:…read more * Lots of corner shops and even the big ones are far too snack heavy and lacking real food. * Lots of exotic shops that offer people to taste of home rather than real good food. * Some of the independent stores stopped selling alcohol because of all the hobo battles. A few of them might try to set you up with their daughters. * McDonald's is 24/7 but makes me fat. Has no food drinks only children's sugary drinks. Doesn't stock essential conveniences such as toilet paper. * Eating things from Iceland really hurts my teeth. It's all really cold and hard. * If I eat food from Tesco it makes my bum sore every time. They also hire very sad people who get lonely so they try to stop you from leaving. The Sainburies isn't bad with none of the above problems but as express stores go it is crammed into a really small footprint. The range of food isn't bad considering the small footprint but it's not ideal and isn't going to stock an amazing range of items. The opening times are also not the best for me. Because the store is so crammed it's a bit gloomy and depressing. The checkout area has ultra compact machines that seem often broken and the security seems a bit overbearing because of the confined space as well as the crummy area they're in. I don't know what it's like at busy hours but I can't imagine it's pleasant. If a queue forms it will immediately start to cut into the shopping area creating a kind of shop while you queue dynamic.

The size of the place is a little small, but still enjoyed the very tasty and fresh raspberries and the kids got some small refrigerated flan desserts. We had some issues using US credit cards at the self-checkout but service was friendly and figured it out. Probably more convenient to use contactless method next time versus chip.

I prefer this store to many other branches of Waitrose, the store has a good feel to it, and it is in a useful location within a large shopping centre, meaning you can pick up essentials or even do a weekly shop while picking up the rest of your shopping across the mall. They have handheld scanners at the front of the store, meaning you can scan as you walk around the score, or use the QR code for mobile scanning. This is a handy feature more and more stores are offering now, but Waitrose seem to do it well, rather than playing hide and seek with the QR codes (I'm talking about you Sainsbury's) or forgetting about a mobile app altogether (I'm talking about you Tesco) Obviously, the prices are slightly higher than other supermarkets as Waitrose is a more premium brand, but they do have some products where the pricing is reasonable/competitive, the free-from range could be much better, which is the main reason I prefer Marks and Spencer at the other end of the mall. The staff are friendly enough, as typical of John Lewis Partnership stores. 4* - A very good supermarket and a great, unique addition to Westfield Stratford City.

I've shopped at TFC over a number of years but today will be the last time for me it's just not a nice place to shop sadly.

This one in Stratford has a large car park, but is a bit of a trek to the tube station if you plan on buying more than a few carrier bags worth of goods.

Not a massive supermarket but better than the sainsburys located in The Mall centre - even if that is closer to the tube station!

This is a very frustrating Tesco, it's well laid out and is thoughtfully dividend into different…read moresections, selling quite a lot of different items considering it's not an Extra store. It also has an online order pick up point which is handy. The main problem with it though which really winds me up whenever I go there is the self-service checkouts, they have 6 which are divided into groups of 4 and 2. So you have two queues, one for each section. For some reason in this store people take absolutely ages to go through them, so there's always a huge queue, or two huge queues to be precise. Added to this that the staff seem to wander off whenever they feel like it, so once someone jams their machine they're just stood there for ages with no assistance, and meanwhile the queues get longer. One morning all four people in the section had jammed their machines and the attendant had wondered off somewhere, so we were all left standing there like idiots with nothing we could do. I don't think Tesco understands how frustrating this is, and it seems to show a real lack of respect for their customes. It's not easy to see why they have so few of the machines, the Sainsbury's at Stratford is much smaller and has around 3 times as many, sensibly with only one queue so that you don't get annoyed watching the queue next to you going faster. Every time I've been to this Tesco this has been a cause of major annoyance, so I do try to avoid the place.

Another brilliant thing about this Waitrose is its proximity to a really good Sainsburys and M&S food so you can cover all bases. The staff are friendly and helpful and I still see the same faces after years. The car park is outdoors which suits me down to the ground... nothing worse than fitting into the tiniest underground/multi-storey car park and then realising you'll have tonnes of groceries on your return and that won't be able to fully open doors because there's two inches between your car and the wall. Waitrose also support local charities and local self funded groups which is a nice touch.
