Is This The Worst DIY Superstore In London?
When I used to live in Newmarket, I used the B & Q store in Cambridge a lot. This one in Leyton is my nearest DIY Superstore and it’s only about half-an-hour on a 56 bus.
Is This The Worst DIY Superstore In London?
The staff at Cambridge were helpful and knowledgeable, the store usually had what I wanted and the check-out was quick. On the other hand, Leyton had just one visible person in the store today, there was no-one to ask for what I needed and the check-out queue was long and not moving. So I put the stuff I’d wanted to buy, back on the shelves and left.
I suppose it does have a bus-stop in front, but I doubt I’ll ever go there again.

It makes me cross when I find that as well. Shopping is difficult for me to start with. I have just tried to shop, been back about 10 minutes. The plan was on shop which I could park outside, and if I felt ok, a short trip into store next door. No staff visible in first shop, 4 on checkout queue of 20+ people. I didnt dump the one thing I had bought, because it was a specific request from someone as Christmas gift. Plus it was a shop I hate and rarely go in. Got posh coffee on way home as reward 🙂

I’m lucky in that my preferred High Street at the Angel, Islington has a Carluccio’s at one end by a bus-stop if it’s raining and a small friendly Waitrose, Boots and M&S at the other. My bus home is just a short walk from a good Starbucks, if I take the coffee after my shopping. Buses both ways are every three minutes or so and one in six are some of the new buses for London with conductors. There’s also Chapel Market behind Waitrose. I can also shop in Waitrose and they’ll deliver it. Who needs large superstores?
