Niche question - Camden Sainsbury’s or supermarkets in Bloomsbury

[HairyMaclary]

DS is starting uni in London with halls in Bloomsbury. I was going to arrange a click and collect, but while there are loads of little Sainsbury’s/ Tescos/ M and S and Waitrose the closest big one seems to be Sainsbury’s in Camden. I tried to book a click and collect but it would only let me book Finchley as the closest. Does the Camden Sainsbury’s do click and collect? Does anyone local know?

If not, does anyone know the closest supermarket that might? Ideally not Waitrose /M and S as the halls are expensive enough!

I'd get a delivery, he's not going to want to lug a load of shipping around.

Yes get a delivery

It's quite a journey to the Camden Sainsbury's with bags of shopping. The closest cheap supermarket to student halls is Lidl in Tottenham Court Road. There's a medium-small Sainsbury's in Tottenham Court Road, too. No idea which do click and collect, though.

No deliveries allowed on moving in day, we’ll
have a car and will need not just food but other household stuff so was hoping to do a ‘big shop’ before we leave. The little supermarkets cost so much more and don’t have the range.

Where in Bloomsbury? The waitrose at The Brunswick centre is quite big, do they not do click and collect as there is some parking nearby.

Tbh with the cost of most parking locally, you're probably best off just doing a big shop and getting an Uber back to halls.

Bloomsbury to Camden will be a PITA. Waitrose in the Brunswick Centre would be better

Just go and get some shopping in the Waitrose
