Tesco Express Westminster

This Tesco store is located in a good location, right opposite Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, and also central to the Thames, London Eye and even Waterloo Station, so this store needs to do something pretty drastic to make me leave disappointed.
This Tesco store is an «Express» store but I still didn’t expect it to be so small, that it is literally one isle, this means all the stuff is jammed together and it is very narrow which means you can only walk down in single file, making this store a nightmare for wheelchairs and prams.
This store has an entrance as well which is very narrow, adding to my last point making it a nightmare for those with wheelchairs and prams, which also means going in to a really busy crowd, which can also lower the shopping experience.
Due the store being so narrow, it is certainly difficult to even shop, as you feel like you have to walk down at a certain speed with people being unable to get past (even though people walk very slow too, which means you can’t get past if you are in a rush, as they are trying to have a look)
A considerable range from the Tesco Express regulars are also missing, and this store is simply a waste of time with it being so small and in my opinion stores like this are just unnecessary and are part of the reason why Tesco isn’t making the profits it wants and needs to continue to be considered with the likes of Asda and Morrisons as major supermarkets.

Ah Tesco Express, la découverte du quartier. Vous avez besoin d’un sandwich, un bouteille d’eau, il faudra alors faire la queue dans ce magasin qui est tout en longueur. On peut à peine placer deux personnes côte à côte, il faut donc entrer par l’arrière et au fur et a mesure que la queue avance, vous choisissez vos sandwichs, boissons et autre avant de passer à la caisse. L’expérience en vaut la peine.

This place is VERY small. There are a lot of large Tescos around London, but this is an Express store. There’s not much room for walking up and down the aisle. You go in one door and you exit another. There’s just enough room to start at the top of the aisle, and browse going down. There is usually a long line formed up the whole aisle to the registers. It moves pretty decently, though.
Most people coming in were buying bottled water, salads or sandwiches. They also have a £3 «meal deal», for a drink, sandwich and chips. Sandwiches are less than £2, bottled water can range from 42p to 86p. Those are the two things I mainly came here for. This is the cheapest place I found to buy water.
They also carry a lot of OTC meds like asprin, toothbrushes and toothpaste, anything a traveler might need that they forgot at home.
It’s located right across Parliament and next door to Café Nero and the Westminster Tube Station.

#539 It’s located right across from Parliament and Big Ben, so I’m sure they get a lot of foot traffic over the summer. We were able to track down toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash — all of which we forgot back home — so we were grateful. Sure, the total was about an arm and two legs, but that’s the price you pay for convenience. The employees could do with a bit of cheering up though.

Ziemlich enger Supermarkt und besonders zur Mittagszeit stauen sich die hungrigen Menschen im Gang. Eingang und Ausgang sind komplett getrennt und ein ganzes Stück voneinander entfernt. Ist zwar eine Londoner Menschenmassen-​Sehenswürdigkeit, aber es gibt schönere Einkaufserlebnisse.
