Sainsbury’s

It’s open until quite late, which is a huge advantage when you remember you have to pick up milk or bread at the very last moment.
Currently, the approach is a bit confusing and convoluted, given the construction currently going on within Paddington station, but it is open until midnight on most nights and it’s worth the effort.
It stocks the basic stuff that you could need before catching the train home from Paddington or after your long distance train drops you off at this station.

My first grocery shopping experience in London. Helpful staff with good produce! I usually shop at Whole Foods, but this was pretty good.

Great local and well stocked Sainsbury’s!

Recently refitted this is a very useful convenience shop. The queues are seldom long.

Im Sainsbury’s Local bekommt man fast alles, das ist in diesem Bürokomplex sehr praktisch.
Besonders ist mir die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter aufgefallen.

An amazing grocery store in Paddington Station.
The bf and I came here to pick up things for lunch, snacks, and breakfast!
This Sainsbury is a bit smaller than other ones I’ve been to in my previous visit but it has everything we needed. It was well-​stocked and had an excellent selection.
It made our stay much more convenient to our wallet as we could just tote our lunch wherever we were heading to and just eat a the neighboring park instead of looking for a restaurant or café and take that time to be served.

I wish we had these in the states… both from the convenience factor, and the fact that they had lots of little stuff here and there ready to make.
This was right next to a Marks and Spencer, and provided the perfect compliment to just about everything I needed while I was staying at the Hilton Paddington for work and travelling in and out of Paddington Station.
Staff were always helpful and friendly. Lines were virtually nonexistant or fast, and the place was clean and well stocked.

This is a great store in Paddington. It offers most of the essentials and is definiftely better than the other convenience stores in the area. Participates in many Sainsburys promotions, and offers great value meal deals for lunches. The queues tend to get fairly long at lunchtime and morning but ask for cashback at the checkout and it will eb faster than queueing for the ATM in the main station. Generally offers good customer service too. All in all much better than the competition — their bakery items are especially good value compared to the on site cafes at the station

Absolutely great. I agree that the sandwiches are best bought from M&S due to how cheap looking and tasting Sainsburys sandwiches are. For some reason the sandwiches always taste like they are wet. The only thing not cheap about them is the price. The store, however, is great. Its alot larger than it looks from the outside, and for a sainsburys inside a station, it really stocks more than most normal sized stores. A perfect selection to grab a bit on the way home or just to eat on the train. Highly recommended.

As with all Sainsbury’s Locals and Centrals, prices are higher than in a normal store, but it’s amazingly convenient to pick up the stuff you need on the way home.
Even though real estate is at a premium in the station, Sainsbury’s at Paddington Station is quite big, and well-​stocked.

For a Sainsbury’s cramped into a small place, I find thos one just perfect for those little bits and pieces I need. Being in the station, it’s very useful when dashin in to or out fron London and often has many of the goods on offer.
Decent wine selection with gift bags if you’ve forgotten a gift, plus what you’d expect — just less of it.
Great quick stop!

It seems incredible now that the presence of Supermarkets at major railway stations was unknown just 8 years ago: but so it was. This branch of Sainsbury’s at Paddington station was heralded as the third of their then-​new ‘Local’ chain, and the first major multiple to have a store within a railway station, when it was opened in November 1999.
This is actually quite a large version of the ‘Local’ branded stores, with high ceilings (although the aisles are irritatingly cramped). It focuses on the travelling public — lots of sandwiches, salads, fruit and veg for people wanting a snack for the journey, and basic provisions for busy commuters.
I have to say that, for sandwiches, I prefer M&S next door, but their fresh flowers are good value, and their wine section is good too — both suitable for a gift to take to your destination. The only things that let the store down are the narrow aisles — hard to navigate with luggage and a basket — and the often long queues to hard-​pressed staff. A redeeming feature — very long opening hours.
