I knew before we even landed in London we'd have 3 options without a block radius of our flat to shop for groceries. There is a Little Waitrose & Tesco Express- both would be considered more of convenient store markets.
But, this Sainsbury's location is what you'd actually call a real grocery store. AND I LOVED IT!!
This location is brightly lit with the 24 Bus stop right in front. A very good size. As you enter- there's a cash machine (ATM) to the left and the hot food department to the right. This is where you can buy the baked chickens and even create your own pizzas!! This section is also where you'll find the Grab & Go meals. Grab & Go is very popular here in London. You can pick from varieties of chips/ juices, waters, sodas/ and sandwiches or pasties (empanadas).
As you continue walking into the store- the magazine section to the left. Self check out tills to the right and beyond that- regular cash registers. Either way, if you're paying with a U.S. card with a chip- you'll most likely need an employee to print out the the receipt for you to sign.
Continue walking and you'll have the fresh produce section.
Then past this- the freezer & refrigerated aisles. We stopped by these aisles tons of times!
We took advantage of their microwaveable meals. I was a big fan of the Steak & Mash combo. The meat chunks were very tender, the stew was tasty and thick. The Mash was creamy & buttery. Another microwaveable meal I enjoyed was the spaghetti carbonara!! Did not disappoint!!
We bought slices of cold cuts, Baby Bel cheese wheels, & chive crackers for snacky snacks.
There's a huge selection of wines, beers, & hard liquors. Heck, we even bought Modelo!
Everyday besides Sunday (closes 5pm) this Pimlico location closes at 11pm.
Staff is really nice and I think there's underground parking.... -

Sainsbury's has pretty much everything you need and then some. I say this but at the same time the overall variety was not what we are used too. Still we made due and found what we needed. I believe we are a bit spoiled.
The shelves seemed a bit empty to me. We went in on Boxing Day so they closed early and it felt a little frenzied. It's a good size store. The prices seemed fair. Actually, the prices were pretty darn good. -

Nice market with a good selection of prepared foods. Very easy to get in and out of, plus decent selection of regular food items. Excellent selection of ciders and beers. This was a very handy shop to have near us during our recent visit to London, would definitely shop here again.

As is probably the case for most Britons, Sainsbury's is the go-to corner store for all of your life needs. But I guess for some of these places, they are a step above corner store while not quite being a full-blown grocer.
We stopped by this specific location a number of times walking between our hotel and Victoria Station. It makes for a quick grab on the way out in town or if on your way back in the evening. We got bottled water, heated lunches and fruit to name just a few of the items we picked up regularly. In addition, as my girlfriend doesn't have Blue Moon in her country, we were quite happy to find it here.
The check out lines get long fast but they move fast too. If you're a foreigner (read: American) and paying with card, you will be better off going to the manned cashier (till) lines because you will be required to sign a copy of the receipt. This has something to do with our credit cards not being issued with a chip in them that saves personal information.
