Sainsbury’s

Very big and wide variety considering the location. This Sainsbury’s has a salad bar and freshly cooked meals including curries and jacket potatoes and a variety of baked goods.
I used to go to get lunch here nearly everyday over the past year and have always had a good experience.
The staff are very helpful and polite, one lady at the til always asks if I want to put my chocolate in my handbag as the hot food will melt it. Very considerate. I also witnessed an accident here once and the staff were very quick to act and help.

J’ai logé pendant quelques semaines dans une auberge jeunesse à quelques minutes à pieds de ce super-​marché. Comme je n’avais pas accès à une cuisine complète, je cherchais avant tout à trouver des plats déjà préparés, variés et surtout santé!
Côté pain, aucun problème, tout ce dont j’avais besoin pour un petit-​déjeuner y était (tel qu’on peut trouver partout en amérique du nord et en europe).
Grâce à leur «salad bar», j’ai pu manger des pâtes, des légumes et des ragoûts diversifiés et assez bons. Leur section salade et légumes frais m’a permis de me faire de bonnes et grosses salades-​repas.
La propreté des lieux et la courtoisie des employés m’a agréablement surprise!

Das London teuer ist, ist nix neues. Wer aber ein bissel aufpasst beim Einkaufen kann hier auch gut Geld sparen. Viele 2 for 1 Geschichten.
Kommt unseren Supermärkten ziemlich nahe und ist mit 5 Kassen und 10 selfmade Kassen auch auf dem neusten Stand.
Preis/​Leistung ist halt London üblich teuer!!!

I love a reasonably priced grocery store in the middle of a busy city especially in a really pricey city like London. I usually stay in a hotel nearby when I am in town and I can by buy a pack of water, or beer and put it in my hotel fridge. Besides the liquid refreshments here they also have a decent selection and stock of items if you lived nearby, because who wants to carry groceries on the train, and maybe if you want to grab something to make for dinner on your way home from work.
Their pastries, sandwiches and other grab and go foods are pretty good so if you are in a hurry to get back to work or hop on the train you get get something «fresh-​ish» and be charged higher prices.
I usually grab couple of hard to find items (for living in California) to throw in my luggage because if I could save couple of pounds on some British treats why won’t I.

As someone not native or local to London, I was super excited to finally find a nice and clean grocery store. I live in a relatively «questionable» area in London and the grocery store near me does not have a wide selection of food.
This grocery store has a wide variety of food and is VERY clean. The aisles are clearly marked. Their salad bar also looked very appetizing as well. I did not purchase anything from them though.
After walking around, I purchased some cherry tomatoes, vegetable oil, tortillas, mild cheddar cheese, salad dressing, and a few other items. For just passing by this place, it was a great find. YAY!

So i come here everyday to get my lunchtime sarni! It used to be that I wouldn’t eat a packaged sarni from anywhere else but Marks & Spencers, but their sandwiches have gone downhill, and Sainsburys have taken their place for best sarni. But this isn’t why i’m writing about this location.
Something strange has happened to this store! They have replace the typically mean central london grocery workers and replaced them with friendly nice people. Their faces are pleasant, not sour. They say «thank you», not «NEXT». They say «sorry for your wait», when it didn’t take long in the queue.
Have I been taken to a parallel universe? Is this still Earth? Mom? Are you here?

Ein Supermarkt, der sich in der Nähe der Tubestation Holborn befindet, an der Kreuzung zwischen Kingsway und High Holborn direkt gegenüber der Metro Bank. Gehört zu den größeren Filialen («Central»).
Früher roch es hier manchmal eigenartig, das Problem wurde inzwischen behoben. Ich kann die «hot food”-Theke empfehlen, wo es Boxen mit Chilli con Carne, Chicken Tikka usw. für etwa £3.50, sowie Hähnchen und so weiter gibt. Auch eine Salatbar ist vorhanden.
Gerade zwischen 12 und 14 Uhr staut es sich hier oft ganz schön, da die ganzen Büro-​Menschen sich ihre Mittagssandwiches kaufen.

Un super marché comme les autres, sauf que j’y ai trouvé un vin anglais, oui, je né ris pas, GINGER WINE (de Sainsbury’s, bien sûr) pour 3,39 £, une véritable merveille!!!
Si vous passez par là, n’hésitez-pas, pour en déguster ou l’offrir à tous ceux qui né connaissent pas les merveilleuses ressources gastronomiques de l’Angleterre.

Nice friendly people offering great service. The selection is decent enough for a easy meal. Everything is light, bright and clean.
The fresh pastry sells fast. My son couldn’t get enough of the almond pastry. The fresh veggies, eggs and fruit were spot on.
From Southern California renting a flat nearby for a Easter vacation; it was nice to visit every day.
