Very quiet 3d before New Year's day. Everyone already shopped for that?27/7 - Typical summer hols day. Pretty quiet. Overpriced in places. Only buying specific things we love/have get here. Cheaper options available.14/11 - Quiet at 1430h. Getting expensive here. Need to pick your products tgat you must have, or are on offer when you visit.

Large Sainsbury's supermarket with some good offers when we were there. Loses a star because through no fault of the customer or checkout assistant we were kept waiting for some time whilst another member of staff tried to get a code for an item. Even the customer said don't bother I don't have time but the staff member persisted. 10 out of 10 for persistence but a lot less for keeping the queue waiting.

This is the supermarket closest to the Darwin?s House of English Heritage. If you wish to charge up yourself by a meal deal before your visit, this is a good place to take a rest first. Please note that you have to buy a pay-and-display ticket for £2, but you can use it as a voucher in this Sainsbury?s when you check out.

Well stocked with plenty of price drop products. Staff very helpful and polite. Clothing stores, newspapers and mags. Good argos store. Cash and cards accepted. Plus in store orders. Foreign exchange. Plenty of parking space. Bright,clean and relaxing atmosphere. Very good meat counters. Very wide range of products. Bit more expensive than other supermarkets. But there is Aldi price drop products. Worth a visit.

Much more expensive than TescoNo free parkingNeed to shop for £10 for free parkingStore is also super cold, chilly.The sainsbury in Orpington offers free car park. This one is pricey just because it's near PRUH ??

They had fresh doughnuts which are always sold out every where else. They were delicious. Customer service was great.

Very poor check out experience for such a large store. The shop itself is clean with wide aisles selling everything from clothes, toys and a wide range of groceries. The staff are able to direct you to the appropriate isle if you can't find a product. However come to the checkout and it very poor. On Wednesday 8 August lunchtime only 2 manned checkouts were open with long queues forcing people to wait and wait including elderly people with crutches or having a-small basket of goods. Meanwhile the self service checkouts had 2 staff supervising. No floor manager evident or bothering to open another checkout or even offering to scan shopping for elderly with a small basket of goods. Attitude to customers reads as give us your money, we don't care. Many still want or need manned checkouts.

Poor self check out. Using Smartshop it didn't reduce some of the prices. We couldn't scan some products.We asked an assistant to help and she carried out a full rescan and still couldn't find the price of a cabbage and a cucumber. How basic!What an annoyance and waste of our time. We usually use a smaller Sainsbury's in West Wickham but this one in Locks bottom was a disaster for us. We won't use it again in a hurry.In fact my wife stopped me from walking out and leaving all the shopping behind, which had taken us 90 minutes to find.Very poor.

Ancient car parking machines refuse to accept Google Pay. They need to be replaced. Sort it out Sainsbury's.

Shop ok but they employ euro car parks who don?t have signage by the covered walkway so depending on how you approach the shop you may not be aware you need to pay and display.Be warned. I appealed after being a few seconds over the limit and they did not respond to my route taken into shop

It has everything that you can afford off. The beauty area is rich and fulfilled with almost importante high street brands, great. Essential clothes for everybody since night wear to garden shoes, it is great for last minute hospital admission, around the corner.

Very close and convenient for me with a good selection of goods and produce. I wish they would fix that leaking roof/awning that I walk under on my way to the store entrance though.

Very disappointed, very few staff, long queues to pay. Went to self service, lots of them "no entry", found one, put a trolley worth of stuff through and realised card payment only. Haven't got my card so person overseeing the self service just cancelled my shop and told me to join a long queue to pay. Took ages. Come on Sainsbury's - "could do better" get more staff in!!!!
