If you’re staying somewhere in Kensington & Chelsea, you may well be interested in knowing what supermarkets are in the area in order to be able to buy your own food!<\/p>\n

Generally, there’s a handful of chain supermarkets that exist in the UK, the main ones being Tesco<\/a>, Sainsburys<\/a>, Waitrose<\/a>, Marks & Spencer<\/a> and Co-operative Food<\/a>. The first two tend to have (at least in Kensington & Chelsea) larger superstore versions as well as smaller, local high-street versions, though the latter type would more than suit your needs if you’re a visitor and only need to pick up a few essentials.<\/p>\n

To give you an idea of pricing, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer are considered top-end supermarkets with good quality products. Marks & Spencer generally sells its own brand products, although introduced some well known brand items (think Heinz ketchup, Whiskas cat food, Persil washing powder) a few years ago. Tesco and Sainsburys are mid-range in terms of price and Somerfield is a bit more budget.<\/p>\n

Many of these supermarkets now have home delivery services; if you shop for your groceries online, you can get them delivered (for a fee) direct to your home. That’s something else to consider if you’re staying for any extended period of time and have a proper kitchen setup…but perhaps don’t have the means to get to a large supermarket (and back!).<\/p>\n

Tesco
\n<\/strong>There’s a large superstore right on the edge of Kensington, at West Cromwell Road, W14 8PB<\/em> – it’s open 24 hours, Tuesday to Friday.<\/p>\n

Smaller stores include decent sized ones at at 146-158 Kensington High Street, W8 6SU<\/em> and at 114-120 Notting Hill Gate, W11 3QE<\/em>, as well as smaller “express” stores at 87-93 Gloucester Road, SW7 4SS <\/em>and at 82-90 Holland Park, W11 3RB.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sainsburys
\n<\/strong>The largest Sainsburys in the Borough is at 158a Cromwell Road, SW7 4EJ<\/em>, another superstore open 24 hours, Monday – Friday. Smaller stores at 162-164 Earls Court Road, SW5<\/em>; 295-297 Fulham Road, SW10<\/em> and at 86-94 Westbourne Grove, W2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Waitrose
\n<\/strong>There are pretty decent sized Waitrose supermarkets at 243 Kensington High Street, W8<\/em>; at 128 Gloucester Road, SW7 and at 196 Kings Road, SW3.<\/em><\/p>\n

Marks & Spencer
\n<\/strong>There’s a pretty big M & S at 113 Kensington High Street,\u00a0W8<\/em> which is also a general M & S, selling clothes, shoes, homewares and so on. There are also some M & S Simply Food (self-explanatory!) shops at 226-268 Earls Court Road, SW5<\/em>; 146-154 Notting Hill Gate, W11<\/em>; and at 289 – 291 Fulham Road, SW10<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Co-operative Food
\n<\/strong>There’s a small Co-operative Food store at 210-212 Earls Court Road, SW5<\/em>; and one at 471-487 Kings Road, SW3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Whole Foods
\n<\/strong>If you like your groceries a bit more expensive…but of very good quality…there’s a very big Whole Foods at 63-97 Kensington High Street, W8<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
