One of the first questions self-catering guests ask is where to shop. Victoria is brilliantly served for supermarkets and grocery shops – and if you’re staying at The Beverley Apartments on Churton Street, you’ll find everything you need within a short walk. Here’s our local guide to the best options nearby.
Tesco Express – Victoria
The closest and most convenient option for a quick shop. Tesco Express stocks all the essentials – fresh produce, dairy, bread, snacks, and a solid range of ready meals for evenings when you’d rather not cook from scratch. Ideal for topping up supplies throughout your stay.
Sainsbury’s Local
Another convenient local option within easy walking distance of the apartments. Sainsbury’s Local carries a slightly wider range than a standard Express store and is a reliable go-to for fresh ingredients, wine, and household essentials.
Waitrose
For a premium grocery shop, Waitrose is within easy reach of Churton Street. A wider range of fresh produce, deli items, and speciality ingredients – perfect if you’re planning a proper home-cooked meal or stocking the apartment for a longer stay.
Marks & Spencer Food
Victoria Station itself has an M&S Food hall – incredibly convenient for picking up prepared meals, fresh salads, and quality ingredients on your way back from a day of sightseeing. Open early and late, it’s one of the handiest options in the area.
Pimlico Farmers Market
For fresh, locally sourced produce, the farmers market is worth seeking out on Saturdays. A wonderful way to shop like a local and pick up artisan bread, cheese, and seasonal vegetables during your stay.
Tips for Self-Catering Guests
- Shop on arrival – Victoria Station is just a short walk from The Beverley Apartments. Pick up essentials from M&S Food on your way in so you’re stocked up from day one.
- Use the dishwasher – The Family and Standard apartments come with a dishwasher, so don’t hold back on cooking proper meals – clearing up is easy.
- Plan for breakfast – A good self-catering stay starts with a proper breakfast. Stock up on the basics – eggs, bread, fruit, and coffee – and save the café visits for when you’re out exploring.
- Check opening hours – Most supermarkets near Victoria Station keep long hours, but it’s worth checking before making a special trip, particularly on Sundays and bank holidays.
