Went here on 16/06/22 around 15:45 to return my Evri parcel. There was long queues, waited in a queue which had the Hermes/ Evri sign, to return parcels in that lane. There was 4-5 people in front of me, waited patiently. When I got to the front the cashier very rudely told me to go to the back of another lane as that was the fuel line. I politely said please I’ve been waiting, he was rude and not cooperating. People behind me in the queue was asking him to serve me including his colleagues but he wasn’t having it. I then asked the person in the other queues if I can go to one of the other cashiers they said ok. But that cashier came up angrily telling them not to serve me. His colleagues were embarrassed and tried to help me and he wasn’t allowing them, actual stopping them from serving me. People waiting in the queues came to help and told him to serve me, they showed their concern as to why he was singling me out and found it to be awkward for no reason. At this point I am still saying I’m so sorry I am in the wrong queue please allow your colleagues to serve me. After a minute one of his colleagues waved over to me and helped me, even though the angry cashier was not happy the other cashier helped. It was disgusting behaviour by that particular staff member. The line clearly had an Hermes sign to queue there. This employee was rude and his behaviour was despicable! Left me distressed for no reason, other than to feed his ego of authority.

Ive lived less than 60 seconds walk from this Tesco shop/garage since 2010. They are like a little 24 hour supermarket/life saver. Selling items ranging from magazines and puzzle books, beautiful fresh flowers (of which many girlfriends of mine have loved., they are very friendly, personable and helpful. There’s a good atmosphere they have created in there over the years. And living here so long I’ve seen all sorts happening here from Bayern Munich’s football team bus pulling in to fill up and get refreshments to the odd scrubber running out of the place with pockets full of meat. They have changed things around so you can’t get cold Guinness there anymore which I totally argued with them about but the lay out is not up to them. There’s a cash machine too. Lastly it’s right beside Camden school for noisy kids. So lunchtime and stuff it gets a bit crazy.

  • Michael Stone

Upgraded to 5 stars from 1 as to be quite honest, i was gobsmacked. Had to fill up yesterday as i was about to run out and previously the petrol only counter was a joke. This time however, i walked up to the petrol only counter and was served almost immediately even though there were queues for food etc. Very impressed, hope they keep to that system. If only more large store petrol stations would learn from this.

  • Onur Aksoy

If you want to refuel quickly this isn't the place. Only a few of the pumps allow you to pay at kiosk, most of them are pay at pump but the receipt option usually doesn't work. Also this petrol station has a Tesco express which means people who use the pump then go and do their weekly ship and take forever. You'll be waiting a while for pumps to become available.

  • Nigel Hobden

Not much I can say, service is routine, fuel albeit little expensive, but lots of pumps, although most are at the pump payment where they pre-authorise £100 on your card which I find wrong as that blocks your funds for days until it drops of, which for most is a hit & inconvenient, but not had an issue this far.

  • Ben Arnold Fagin (londonarnold)

Great 24/7 supermarket in a Garage, when travelling long distance, it's just around the corner, quite large and well stocked with the more expensive quality rather than budget items, the Staff work well and the community and travellers are lucky to have this Open 24 hour convenience. ⛽ …

  • Will Watson

It might look like just another petrol station but step inside and you'll find a decent sized local supermarket too. I found fresh produce, household items and snacks I've been searching for unsuccessfully in the megastores. I don't even drive a car and I still go back occasionally! Keep it up team.

  • sean kelly

Been there twice this week card machine not working both time ONLY one member of staff behind counter trying to sort people out who are standing in a long queue having put fuel in there cars whilst 3 other members of staff were including manager just looking at poor fella trying to sort things out

  • Joshua Knowles

What else would you expect from a Tesco but good customer care, especially with older people, if you are near by, should definitely go if you are short on time, the only thing is that it is busy. Funny staff members work there who liven up your day. Bought this funny gift for a furry friend.

  • Alex Ainsworth

Sensational. A pillar of the camden community. Such a huge selection in a petrol station, often I come here just to browse. No wonder department stores are going out of business when we have such incredible selection on our doorstep. Intend to do 90% of my Christmas shopping here this year

  • E H

Extremely unhappy visit. One particular staff member threatened us, and we had to escalate this issue with Tesco head office. We left there feeling very frightened and for our children to be crying due to the member of staff is totally unacceptable.

  • Thomas Paul Delaney

Great for quick shop and fuel. Great selection in freezer and cold shelf. In theory you could do a weeks shop here but DONT ! park your car at the pumps. That makes my blood boil. There is a small carpark. Very good staff.

  • Adrian Mars

Sadly, short of driving to Brent Cross, since Morrisons Chalk Farm closed their petrol station, this is cheapest in the area. Decent shop Friendly staff. Pay at pump (though many pumps are usually out of receipt paper).

  • Michael Ryan

Very good. I was pleasantly surprised when first used this store. Thought it would be just basic provisions, but extensive range which is more that useful. 24 hours too, which helps in these difficult times...

  • Richard Lucas

Open 24 hours a day except for Christmas day. The shop is not massive but is well stocked with day to day items and a nice selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. Good wine selection too.

  • Jacob Miles

Quite simply, an emotional place. A Mecca. The nostalgic comforts of a soft play area, married with the business acumen of One Canada Square. A must see, one of London’s truly hidden gems.

  • Amy Munro

Big petrol station with a fair sized Tesco express. Slightly more expensive than a regular Tescos but only place on Camden Road which you can get a bit of shopping while passing through.

  • U Brain

Security guard never wears his mask properly. Never enough tills open. It would have been 2stars but for the girl working 2 tills at the same time to help reduce the queue - respect!

  • Chief Keith

The fuel station near my house that I frequent. Decent prices, despite the extortionate price hikes, but hey-ho my automobile needs its juice and this is its drinking hole.

  • Andrew Kerr

Good shopping area ☺great atmosphere COVID-19 friendly store great selection of items good quality customer service great ticks all the boxes …

  • Zak Zahir

A great petrol station with Tesco and an ATM cash point. Ideal pit stop for fueling, A bit of shopping essentials or to get some cash whilst on route to central London.

  • R D

Great customer service. Store offers a large selection of goods considering it is a petrol station branch. No queue and was pretty quiet for an early Saturday evening.

  • Andreas Demetri

Always have to wait long time here. Most of the pumps are pay with card only. Staff take they time to authorise pump for pay at cashier. Avoid if you can

  • mighty pika

  • Daniel B

  • Lance Blackstone

Why buy your food in the same place you buy your petrol when are some really great family-run shops a few minutes away on Brecknock Road.

  • Dean Rodrigues

Tesco Express attached to the Esso pump gets ridiculously crowded between 3 and 4pm meaning checkout takes ages. Well stocked shop though

  • Dave McGuckin

Terrible if you want to just pick up an item or 2. The queues are outrageous. Haven't been in there for less than 10 minutes at any time.

  • shahinaz awarda

Absolutely stupid, rude and unhelpful manager he never answered his phone. Staffs are helpless. I wouldn't advice any one to go there .
