This lovely little grocery store is a hidden gem on Great Suffolk Street! Sure there's a Tesco…read moreExpress up the street, but I recommend walking a little further down to this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The shop is overrun with a wealth of inexplicably inexpensive fresh fruits and vegetables. They also stock jams/jellies, biscuits, crisps, free range dairy, and seasonings/spices. There are some pre-made lunch pots and desserts as well. The pastels de nata taste homemade and are divine! Lastly, you can squeeze your oranges in the juicer or purchase a fresh smoothie. I love this little shop and I can't wait for my next grocery run :) Oh one more thing: they have a £5 card minimum. Since everything is so cheap, I recommend bringing cash.

First things first, I am not a local. When I lived in Chiswick many years ago there was an…read moreold-skool healthfood store in one of the side streets but not this lovely supermarket. I had hoped to pick up a snack on my way over to a friend's house banking on one of the main chains along the High Street. M&S was already closed and Tesco had one of its fridge meltdowns (this seems to happen all over town in Summer, but that's another story). Luckily I remembered As Nature Intended from a previous visit and was happy to find an exciting selection of unusual yet healthy snacks. I opted for delicious looking ice cream mochi balls - they turned out to just as tasty as they looked. I don't think I'll be making a special journey as Chiswick really is quite out of the way, but waiting for the next excuse to venture out West. Much better than Wholefoods!

This is not a big supermarket, which is good as you can find what you need easily and swiftly…read more This branch was were it all begun, they sell only organic produce such as meat, chilled goods, beer and wine. They slowly introduced other areas within their grocery, like Green Baby clothes (previously reviewed by moi), and an extensive natural remedies department with expert advice on hand to help treat any ailment. My husband suffers from eczema and he has tried many things in the past, they recommended a balm that has worked wonders, the dryness is less visible and according to him the itching has diminished. As Nature Intended, really feels like walking into Nature, it smells fresh, clean and natural, staff are pin pointed everywhere. Funny story, I thought I was going a bit mental when I saw one of the staff on one aisle and as I turned to the next aisle she was there again! How did she get there? I slowly came to realize, when one of the girls stood next to the other, they were twins! Really nice girls and helpful. Don't be surprised about the prices, just remember you are paying for a healthier lifestyle, free of chemicals and pesticides.

Seewoo now does delivery across London of essential Asian groceries!…read moreThe full product list is on their website. Be careful, there are two Seewoo websites, so make sure you're on the right one. I've now ordered twice, and while I'm grateful to be able to get delivery, they are not a fully slick service so there might be the following issues: 1) When you email the order, you have to wait for them to call back to give you a delivery date. This could be days/up to a week later. And it has to be delivered the next day after they call you to take payment 2) I had an order come a day later than was given 3) I've had items missing from my order, some charged and some not 4) I've had an item expiring 4 days before my delivery date, and another expiring the same day. 5) They cannot process refunds at this point, the only thing they can do is after COVID lockdown is over, you have to visit the shop in Chinatown with your invoices and complaint, and they will sort it out there. So if you're willing to accept the above, then this is a great way to get some Asian groceries delivered directly to your door.

Seewoo is one of the Chinese supermarkets off the beaten track in Chinatown. It's located on Lisle…read moreStreet, which runs parallel to the main drag of Gerrard Street. If you spot a traffic jam on Lisle Street, you've probably found the store - there are usually trucks unloading outside, which blocks up the narrow street. That's quite apt as the aisles inside are also quite narrow and the place can become quite crowded if there are lots of people inside. It has the usual mix of fresh and canned/preserved Asian goods. I don't shop here often and find it a little hard to navigate. The range isn't bad though it's not as comprehensive as some of the bigger supermarkets. However, as it's off the beaten path, sometimes you can find something here which is sold out elsewhere. So you may see me at Seewoo!

This shop has so many different names. And I never knew that one of them was Circle Store! I've…read moreheard Red Orange. I've heard Finelife. I've heard "that shop down the road" on many many occasions. Anyway, this is our go-to shop at work. There are plenty of other convenience shops nearby, even a Sainsbury's, but this remains the staff favourite. They sell all kinds of stuff you never knew you needed. A coworker of mine enjoys a sandwich from their deli counter every day. I've stopped by several times for some delicious soup, an odd can of tuna here and there, and (when I'm feeling extravagant) some halva. If you don't know about Halva, get out now. It's delicious and probably an acquired taste but I LOVE it. I want to bathe in it. This shop definitely has an advantage over some of the smaller convenience stores dotted around the area in that it's independently owned, is much larger, and has a much better selection and value.

The bonus was that they actually had a hard-to-find skin care product made from paw-paw (fermented papaya) which works really well for me, and it was fifteen percent cheaper than the same thing at Planet Organic, and priced competitively with the Internet price advertised for sale in the US. I found the staff cheerful and helpful, and willing to accommodate by setting the last tube aside for a day while I made up my mind. (It was a bit pricey, even so.) Yes, it's a little store but for my money, it's good value and I hope it does well. I've been back three times and loved every visit. Their breads are as good as any around.

Whole Foods Market is a pretty cool shop, it is a short walk away from Stamford Bridge and Fulham…read moreBroadway Underground Station, in the Chelsea/Fulham area of London. The store is pretty large, speciating in organic, quality products, with the prices to match. They did also have a nice selection of ready to eat food, however, I did find the selection for people with allergies, such as myself to have limited choice. The store had a nice feel to it, they did have some tables outside for those wishing to grab and go. I would say having more staff on the shop floor to help find items and explain some of their products, as well as having some more seating/tables inside would be handy, although I admit it isn't exactly a cafe/restauraunt in regards to the latter. The store was well stocked, which is admittedly quite impressive, given the current climate where the country is facing mass food shortages. 4* - A fairly pleasant store, much better than Sainsbury's nearby but still falls short in terms of Marks and Spencer.

Located towards one of the ends of The Brunswick Centre, I called in this branch of Waitrose to…read moretake a quick look around before heading to Wembley Stadium, it's in a good location within the centre and is close to many restaurants (like most of Central London) and it is also really close and within walking distance of Euston and St Pancras, albeit if you're looking for the tube the store is much closer to Russell Square. It is a decent size Waitrose store but many things about it which I usually like about Waitrose seem to let it down, for example, the staff members seemed a little rude and to just get in the way especially when stacking shelves, it seemed like they had a rude and careless attitude which was a shame. The selection of drinks in the store which was the main purpose of my visit wasn't too great, with a poor selection of Iced teas, with the only one available being Fuzetea (they didn't even have the mango flavour either, just the peach one I don't like!) Like with all Waitrose there was the quick scan via your phone service "quick check", however, I couldn't find where to go at all to activate your shopping, the only part easy to find was the checkout for people using the service. With no barcode to scan in obvious sight or mini-handheld scanners which the service uses, this part of the store could definitely be better organised. The location isn't bad and it is nice to have a decent sized supermarket in this location, which was within walking distance of the Hilton London Euston in which I was regretfully staying during my time in London, but many parts of the store such as stock of certain items, organisation and staff members do let it down so it sadly does not justify anything over a two-star rating.

The prices they wanted for a lot of these products was just too much. Their displays were not even that fresh looking, so paying £4.99 for a small punnet of strawberries is a bit of a push.

I hadn't been in for about 2 years until a couple stops in recently. It's been reorganized, more refrigerated sections added, an expanded deli (with a sign saying said deli will be undergoing upgrades this summer), and generally feeling more like a small local Whole Foods than a sad little bastard stepchild. Not too shabby!
