Be prepared for overpriced food, highly-variable (and unpredictable) hours, and the company of people wearing suits. 2. This place. It's not the best Tesco Express I've seen. They have a rather small selection of ready-to-go meals, and I think they only get one delivery of pastries per day. But they're open early, they're open late, and their prices are good, in spite of being the only food option for the numerous hotels and upscale residential developments that have gone up nearby. Go Tesco!

Luckily, a friend dragged me here last week and I finally got to play in the Chinese supermarket I'd heard so much about. It's fun here. There's stuff you won't ever have seen before (I lived in China for a while and I still didn't recognise some of the stuff). It's not easy that everything is sold in bulk. I ate pak choi for almost every meal over three days. But, it would be great if you were planning dinner for friends. I have a bamboo steamer now. Everyone is getting wontons whether they like them or not. I wasn't impressed with their Crispy duck - the carving was so bad that it was 30% bone which was annoying (and has probably cost them that final star actually). I'll try the char sui next time. I'm very excited about that. They stay open late on a Sunday too (illegal? maybe? leave them alone, please). It's not cheap here, but that's understandable. That's a bit like complaining that Cyber Candy is expensive. Besides I don't know many supermarkets that will sell me a lobster that's still swimming about in a tank.

Wow is it wrong to love a Tesco? It probably is, but I live in an area that has teeny tiny…read moresupermarkets and this place seems so large for a London store. I weirdly found this Tesco a really entertaining way to kill a 40 minutes when stuck in Seven Sisters one evening. What I found brillo: 1. They have a nice selection of home wear and electronics - woo hoo when did Kenwood food processors get so cheap? 2. They stock lots of ugly clothes from F&F and you can waste at least 10 minutes looking through the sale items and agonising whether to buy weird furry jumpers. 3. Best of all is the super dooper giant world food section. It's a cornucopia of global produce, flowing with exotic foods from around the world. Often food from this section are strangely cheaper than buying the comparable product from a different area in store. For example coconut milk is way cheaper here than a few aisles down. You can get your Caribbean, your Indian, your Turkish, your Kosher or Polish on to name just a few of the many cuisines that they stock. We very much enjoyed the Polish chocolate snack section. I can heartily recommend the Alibi bar - an awesome coconut, wafer and caramel chocolate medley. I can only presume it is named Alibi because it is so delicious you might not be able to resist stealing it. Therefore needing an alibi. But I did pay for it honest, for an import it wasn't even that much £. In true Tesco tradition, the place does seem a bit ugly and depressive, and the staff weren't very friendly. All the served checkouts were closed so they push you towards the evil self service checkouts of doom - but despite all that, the amazing stock makes up for it and I wouldn't mind if they had one of these in my area (well if it didn't kill all the personality out of my local area that is).

As far as grocery stores are concerned I don't think there was anything special about it. But I really enjoyed walking around and picking up snacks. I like the way they had plastic covers over all the refrigerated section's. It feels really energy-efficient. And there was some pretty good pastry bread. I loaded up. I feel like the prices are reasonable, but the selection seemed a little off kilter. I'm not really sure what they were going for but I couldn't find the brands that I was looking for. I ended up getting substitute products that were pretty good, so I don't understand too much how that works.

I didn't scan properly my last item , and although it was in plain sight one of the shop assistant was very aggressive implying I did it on purpose. I have been spending about £300 in the shop every month but I think I ll take my custom mostly elsewhere now and just get a few things from Waitrose which are still worth getting , Not good overall .

Waitrose is, in my opinion, the best supermarket in Putney…read more They have a bakery, fresh fish counter, fresh meat counter and delicatessens all on site which for a small supermarket is really good. The nearest Asda for example (which is about four times the size) does not have a fresh fish counter at all. The range of fruit and vegetables is excellent, and all from reasonably local sources. An extensive wine department can be found at the back of the store, which is better than some dedicated local shops like Threshers. The staff are all very helpful, and will even make wine recommendations. Some complain that Waitrose is expensive. However, if you compare like for like products Waitrose is actually very competitive. But they don't sell any lower quality or value products, so if you do go here for every shop then it will end up costing more. They also don't have as many special offers as some of the other supermarkets. Fresh flowers are located at the front of the store if you are looking for a gift, and they also have a reasonably large magazine section. I find the isles in the store are wider than other supermarkets, which results in a less cramped shopping experience. The tills are always well staffed, so you never seem to have to queue for very long if at all. They will validate your parking in the Putney exchange car park if you spend more than £10. An added bonus at the weekends is that a talented violinist often busks in Putney Exchange, who you should be able to hear while you're shopping or queuing.
