Another Sainsbury's

Four Eyes

Another crappy overpriced mini Sainsbuy's in that ugly new block of flats next to the World's End, apparently.<br>

I heard there was also going to be a big one, near Hornsey Station

Multiple landowners at the Hornsey site are causing some delays.  Anywhere that reduces the queues at SGR Tesco is a good thing in my book.<br>

A big Sainbos at Hornsey wouldn't tempt me. Not when we already have one at Harringay.<br>

A new sainsburys local is opening soon on blackstock road, opposite the n4 library. Looks tiny.

More competition for the country's worst Tesco store. With this Sainsbury's and the new Fruit and Veg store I can see my evening trip home slightly change route to go up SGR. <br><br>Mind you, the whole of Crouch End that doesn't live near the Broadway might just go up there then double back before getting a bus. <br>

The Vista site is definitely a Sainsbury's, as there are alcohol licence notices up in their name. So I presume all the planning etc has gone their way. I think it's too small to be a proper supermarket, I'm guessing it's not going to be much bigger than the one where Woody's was. But I'm looking forward to the new fruit and veg place near Cats. Signs so far look good.

Which one is the Vista side?<br>

Can't we have something else? I can't stand Sainsbury's.

Vista is the former name of the Stroud Green Road roll-topped development near the station.

A lovely <A href="http://www.booths.co.uk/Home">Booths </A>or something?

Yes, it would make a change.

I agree about having something else for a change.  A Booths would have been amazing, they don't have any in the South do they?<br>

The building appears to be called Vista House, so I guess the original developer (a representative of whom used to post on here) has stayed throughout, despite contractors going bust etc. You still there Vista, to give us an update?

I doubt Vista is still around. His employing company went bust. http://www.s-and-oproperties.co.uk/
