The new Tesco convenience store on London’s Queensway has a distinctly urban feel, which marks out a point of difference in the grocery sector.

It’s sometimes hard to find a supermarket that merits a Store of the Week tag.

That’s because design in the grocery sector tends to be incremental rather than a major facelift.

Visit the new Tesco convenience store on London’s Queensway however, and it is apparent that this is a substantial leap forward from the interior that was unveiled at the Express branch on the fringes of Twickenham last year.

This is an urban store with a heavy emphasis on fresh top-up shopping.

It features bare concrete pillars, in-store fascination points such as a world beer display, and lighting that highlights the stock, instead of flooding the interior with ambient light.

Couple all of this with a dark-tiled floor and a blacked-out ceiling and this is a convenience store that is quite unlike others across the estate.
