Tesco soon to open

Well the signs are up, the cash machine (free, RBS) is in, and the shelves and interior decoration is almost done too. Just one floor, the basement must be a storage room (as far as I can see). Anyone know the exact opening day? Monday? I thought originally it was going to be in July though.

Tesco minor update

I see Tescos now has some posters on the boarding so I think we can safely assume they are coming. I'm for the move, although I see it could put a lot of the small shops out of business which will have some negative effects.

Harvist remains 'about to open'.

I've not seen anything else new. I'm working on a Kensal Rise/Green map which I'll put up soon.

TESCO NOT OPENING UNTIL JULY?!

Here's the latest...

Dear Matthew,

I can confirm that the new opening date for the store is 2nd July 2009. I hope this information helps.

Kind Regards

Not looking likely, is it?

Tesco to open on February 19th?

I asked Tesco for confirmation that their store on Chamberlayne Road would be opening. A kind press officer replied, and so I have it, sort of.

I've looked into your enquiry for you and found that we have an Express store opening on February 19th 2009 named Kensal Rise London Express.

As our store is yet to open I don't have full address details to check if it will be located on Chamberlayne Road however I can advise that the postcode should be BR5 1HD.

The postcode, of course, is not in Kensal Rise. In fact it's in Orpington. Hence my question mark. But I don't see any reason why there would be a store in Orpington called 'Kensal Rise London Express' and so I assume the postcode has been given wrongly.
