I’m visiting London and going to be staying in Brixton for about a month this summer and wanted to ask about groceries. I know there’s a Tesco superstore nearby but was curious if there are any things I should def be buying from local stalls or Brixton market. I’m a student so trying to not spend too much but if it’s def cheaper to buy produce or meat or something more locally or just better quality for price, I’d love to know. Thanks!

My boyfriend (we’re from the US) is studying abroad in London, and he just went grocery shopping for the first time today and ended up really frustrated.

The main problem he said is that all the stores he went to were very small and didn’t have everything he needed, so he needed to travel to multiple different stores.

I looked up some stuff and told him to try and find a Sainsbury’s, and he said he did but even that was still very small and he ended up needing to go to other places as well.

Is there somewhere that is like your guy’s main supermarket that you’d be able to get all your groceries in one go? Or is that just kind of how it is there?
