Sainsbury's

Supermarket

👍 It is a huge supermarket. It has a lot of variety to buy: food, clothing, home, etc... The prices are regular, you can find offers or maybe there are some very expensive items. However, everything could be validated as good quality. You can park for 3 hours for free. The parking lot is huge. Tod... People often mention store, good, shop, parking, staff, large, lifts, range, clothes, clean,

    It is a huge supermarket. It has a lot of variety to buy: food, clothing, home, etc... The prices are regular, you can find offers or maybe there are some very expensive items. However, everything could be validated as good quality. You can park for 3 hours for free. The parking lot is huge. Today, it was the fifth visit and I could notice that the queues to pay are huge... So my positive contribution is that Sainsbury's, you should include more staff to serve people because there are many machines but they don't have many cashiers. It would be ideal to take this last comment into account. Thank you!!!

    Lovely new Sainsbury's, just outside abbey wood train station. The store is bigger than it looks outside. It sells everything from clothes, home stuff and food. Great staff.

    I wish i could have enough space to describe how horrible is this place managed! Only thing i will say is that they don’t even take the baskets at the entrance, you need to go first and take it from the pay section. The rest you can imagine. If you have options, please take them.

    Second visit to this store recently (July & August 2022) on a Memory trip to South-East London where our relatives lived locally in the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's. They would have loved this store which has been open about seven years. It is very well situated close to Abbey Wood Station (Elizabeth Line, South Eastern and Thameslink) and on the main road towards Thamesmead. Ground floor is a large car park with usual features (disabled and parent parking). A Sainsbury's Bank ATM is located on the way into the store. Access to the supermarket at first floor level is via travellators or large lifts. For the energetic, you can use the stairs 😀. Hand baskets and large / small trolleys (£1 coin deposit) located at store level.First impressions are of a bright, clean, well lit area that is quite welcoming. Sad to note that the Cafe area is now closed and is being repurposed. From the entry method, facing the store gives a very large Tu (clothing) series of aisles to the right. Next to them is series of aisles with Habitat and homewares. A good range of these. Looking left now is the main shop floor. As is usual, the fruit and vegetable area comes next. Very good and wide range with very good quality. Usual aisles of supermarket fare come next including a big celebratory card and magazines section. Being a larger store, there is a wide range in most product lines including own brand products. At the back of the store there is store produced pizzas and the bakery. Both looked very good quality. Having bought our items we headed for the checkouts. Some checkouts were open and being well used by those with full baskets. There is a very big self scan area which we used. Staff noted as being very friendly and helpful giving a good atmosphere. A great store, but sadly at forty miles from home, not for a regular shop 😞.

    11/09/2022 Customer service is truly abysmal. It’s like going back in time a few decades. I had one member of staff twirl his finger and tell me to hurry up with my question, and told me to hurry up because he was busy. And another refused to take the clothes hanger from me once I had paid for my goods because I didn’t want to take it home. Management gave me lip service and said she would speak to staff but I won’t be back to see if things have improved.

    Well located and convenient if you leave around Abbeyzood and Theamesmead. Huge parking space and plenty of shopping ailes with great variety.

  • 4/5 Aggie 2 years ago on Google
    At last Sainsbury's Abbey Wood!! Thank you. Although it only took about 5 months of polite requests, surveys and complaints but you got there. Two of these sandwiches to start with, it's a slow but hopefully steady progress. Thank you for gluten free TAKE away product 👍🏼

    Excellent large store with very helpful staff. Was my first visit to this branch and well impressed.

  • 3/5 Krazy L. 7 months ago on Google • 73 reviews
    The shop is spacious and has a great size car park. The shop is located on the 1st floor and has escalators stairs or 2 x lifts. The problem is the lifts have a habit 8f breaking down and leaves wheelchairs and mobility scooters unable to access the shop and it is not just a day or 2 they can be out of action. Yesterday everything was fine but since 3 attempts going only to be turned away with no date for the lifts to be back working I am discouraged from shopping there now and choose to shop elsewhere, which I would prefer not to as sainsburys was my favourite shop for groceries.

    Popped in to buy some jam doughnuts as I was told theirs are the best, I wasn't disappointed they were yummy. Nice clean store.

  • 5/5 Karen C. 2 months ago on Google • 36 reviews New
    Easy parking no charge. Lifts and escalator. Easy to navigate around aisles. Need more staff on checkouts. Clean tidy helpful staff.

  • 4/5 Craig D. 7 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Was quiet busy as it was less than an hour before they shut. Shelves were pretty much empty but managed to get what I needed. I asked for help at the self checkout which the lady was quick to respond and had a nice attitude

    A handy branch of the nationwide store located in the up-and-coming area of Abbey Wood and a stone's throw from the Elizabeth line station. There's a ground floor car park which does feature a number of beggars and street drinkers, so beware of you're a woman or vulnerable person on your own. The shop staff are friendly with a special shout out to the Argos employees who are always helpful.

  • 5/5 Vanya A. 5 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    Love this store good range of Habitat items, clothes and they have fantastic sales on regularly with 50-70% off! I recently brought both my kids around £350 worth of clothes and shoes in the sale for £140 bargain! They also have an Argos in store that has very friendly attentive staff there. The selection of produce in this store is unmatched to any store in the area I live in North Thamesmead and travel to Abbeywood to shop here when possible. I also drive an electric car and they offer 3 hours free charge in the car park. Highly recommend!

    I was at the Checkout today and I pick up a pack of Maryland chocolate cookies but I didnt realise you had to have a Nectar card to get it at a reduce price and the Team assistant notice that and started asking customers if they had a Nectar card in order to help assist me to buy it at reduce price, customers kept saying no and I was starting to feel a Tad embarrassed but the Team assistant never give up until one customer said Yes she will assist. I am sorry I cannot remember your name but I hope you remember me and thank you and continue being the best at your job.

  • 5/5 Terry C. 2 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    N3ver done an actual full shop here before only popped in n out. Wasn't laid out how I would have expect but found my way easily enough. A fair few things were different or just out of stock. It is hard to chance supermarkets but once you are a nectar card user you will see the overall difference in value an quality and you will change your weekly shop to here too

  • 4/5 YEP N. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Everything is good but a lot of people are paying fine for parking as they assume similar to other grocery or sainsbury itself.

  • 4/5 bibi r. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Always have variety and the staff are always helpful, there's a certain hardworking young lad JOSEPH is his name that guy is super hardworking and respectful

  • 3/5 Kayleigh B. 8 months ago on Google
    My local Sainsbury's, I visit here because they have a really good selection of Free From food for my daughter. Thank you for keeping your shelves full with her favourite bread, biscuits and cereal.

  • 4/5 Leonilde M. 7 months ago on Google
    I haven't found it busy and you'll always find a parking space. Whit a good atmosphere for shopping, nice, tidy and well-stocked.

  • 5/5 ana r. 3 months ago on Google New
    Excellent customer service . Relaxed and attentive . Appreciated in a mad mad world filled with angry people . Congrats

  • 2/5 Michael G. 6 months ago on Google
    First they replaced part of the produce section with isles of crisps (?) and now more often not the fruit and veg section has empty shelves. The store is also generally quite grubby with old and dried spilled produce in the diary sections

  • 5/5 Ronke O. 8 months ago on Google
    Whole range of products, easy to identify isle for the product you want with the sign. The prices are good. If you have nectar, you get some nectar prices. Good place to shop.

  • 5/5 MH A. 8 months ago on Google
    From A-Z there is everything available. It's in an extremely big space. Which is why you would want to take some extra time for your shopping. Huge parking space available for the shoppers. Also point to note is there's Argos, Tu also

  • 5/5 Bob B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shop, large free short term carpark. Only negative is the constantly non working lifts, wheelchair and pushchair users never know if the shop will be accessible.

  • 5/5 Adedoyin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean store. I always get what I want. Their clothing line, TU is top notch and I love buying baby stuff here too. Great points to get from their app, NECTAR, as it's linked to ebay, argos and many other retailers. You get points for each purchase.

  • 4/5 Annmarie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking on ground level, trolley escalater or large lifts with plenty of space for up to 3 trolleys in use and stairs. Disabled parking and child bays available close by entrance. Large size store with clothes range and Argos behind clothing department.

  • 4/5 paul crouch (. 1 year ago on Google
    They have a lot of underground parking, a good number of disabled parking close to the door where you can use a lift to access the shop ,it's certainly clean here and we'll looked after, inside they have a nice cafe and customer toilets, the staff are very friendly and helpful, so all in all I would say its a good shop with a great range of products for all

  • 5/5 Arpita C. 1 year ago on Google
    Good shopping centre large range of items plenty of parking spaces No long queue at the tills

  • 4/5 Desola K. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tony O. 2 years ago on Google
    Been using their services for over 25 years as they are honest, give good service/advise and prices are reasonable. Free tyre repair offer is also available

  • 4/5 Gareth S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice clean fresh store just passed Abbeywood train station. Ground floor parking. All usual goods, food, cleaning, fresh bread, towels, clothing and kitchen accessories gadgets and clothes. Free cash machine, photo me booth. Also an Argos in store so I suppose you could order or pick up argos stuff there but not 100% sure how it works.

  • 5/5 Steve J. 1 year ago on Google
    Taken here by Cretan friends at their family village. They ordered a selection of authentic Greek dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. The service was quick, the staff were talking with our friends more than us, but this was understandable.

  • 2/5 Kimberley C. 1 year ago on Google
    Disappointing experience. The lifts were out of order, when discussing with the entrance security, he told us to use the travelaror, against usage rules instead of using the cargo lift. My partner said she felt like she was going to tip out. Won't be returning to that store in a hurry

  • 3/5 Eron R. 1 year ago on Google
    Needed to pick something up from Argos. Parking was a bit of a mare. Normal superstore. Nothing special apart from escalators not working. Nice wink and smile from lady on tobacco counter as I left.

  • 5/5 J O. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a large store, with argos pick up on site as well. For some reason it never seems busy. There are always spaces in the ground floor car park. Even in usual peak times you don't really have to wait long.

  • 2/5 Kristal L. 1 year ago on Google
    It is close to the train station and bus stop for convenience, lots of car parking space and the trolley man makes sure there are always trollies to use in the store. I used to really like shopping and having a coffee in the friendly café with the relaxing view, but the Sainsbury owners decided that giving the community a safe place to gather wasn’t making them enough money and shut it down. Other than getting nappies there is no real reason to spend time here anymore. Such a shame, I suppose we are lucky that they kept the toilets.

  • 4/5 Calvin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good Sainsbury the escalator to access upstairs hasn’t been working for some time now.. I wonder if they will fix it! I hope they do but for now to get upstairs you have to use the steps!

  • 5/5 Hajra88 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and big store. Lots of things in stock clean and well organized I liked it.

  • 3/5 Ian L. 1 year ago on Google
    Visit store on Saturday it's ok store new looks only been open for long looks worn already I brought confidence pears very small look like wind falls I brought confidence pears at Tesco much better didn't like self service tills Tesco ones are better I go again but not when store full of customers...

  • 5/5 Debbie P. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice branch. Good selection across the whole range. The store is kept clean and there is free parking. They seem to have issues with the lifts/escalators on a regular basis, that's my only negative. Best doughnuts around! Your Baker deserves a pat on the back!

  • 1/5 Bobbi C. 1 year ago on Google
    Store is good but you cannot get up to it without difficulty. At least 1 Lift has been out of order over a year and the second lift OOO on and off. At one time both lifts and the Up Escalator were all out together. Myself and loads of people could not get into the store. There are never any notices outside the door about the problems so you park but have to go back to your vehicle to go elsewhere!
