Convenience store in Barking

“Very friendly staff. Apart from one pharmacist. The blonde lady with glasses and boss eyes is very rude and condescending. She embarrassed me in front of other people in the pharmacy. I've reported her too the pharmacist council she really needs too learn people skills.”

“Purchased a garden rake and took the trip to this store after being told "no" by another store near to me even though the website said they had 7 in stock. I phoned up this store before travelling, and the person on the phone assisted in finding the item and telling me the quantity, which gave me confidence. Have used this store before on many occasions and they have everything that you'd need.”

“This shop sells many products and offers various parcel drop off/pick up services (which I use a lot). Staff are helpful. My favourite product from this store used to be the Shin Ramyun (black/premium) edition, but sadly, they don’t seem to stock this anymore despite the manager going above and beyond trying to check whether he still had it (thanks mate). All in all, I’m glad to have this Londis nearby.”

“I honestly don't get all the bad reviews... Whenever I call Borno Pharmacy Barkingside they are always extremely polite and courteous. I'm warmly welcomed when visiting and provided with excellent quality of service. I'd give ten stars if I could! Honestly, if you are polite they are polite. Highly recommended. Thank you.”

“I’m really surprised by the bad reviews. I’ve been going to this pharmacy for three years, and the staff has always been very kind, sweet, and friendly. I’ve never had a bad experience picking up my prescriptions”

“These Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades are fantastic. They clear the screen perfectly with no streaks or noise, even in heavy rain. The build quality feels solid and they were very easy to click into place. A definite upgrade over standard wipers. Thanks AM”

“2019-2025 Appreciation for Tesco Express IG11 Staff I’ve been meaning to write this note for quite some time and hope it can be passed along to the staff members who have been so kind, patient, and helpful over the years. I rely on bilateral hearing aids and often take a break from wearing them after a long day of hearing, which is why I typically visit Tesco Express without them. Despite this, your staff have always been incredibly understanding and have assisted me with seeing the total cost on the payment card before I pay in cash. Over time, it feels like they’ve become quite familiar with me and seem to instinctively know how to communicate without my hearing aids, sometimes even using basic sign language. I really appreciate their patience and kindness. I just wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone for making my visits so easy and pleasant. One day, I’ll actually remember to put my hearing aids in before I come (giggle) Thank you again for everything!”

“Dear Greengate Tesco Team, Today I visited your Greengate store to pick up a few items, and I wanted to share some positive feedback about my experience. While shopping, my basket became quite full, and as I was waiting in the queue a member of staff kindly noticed and helped lift my basket onto the till point when I was ready to be served. I was then warmly greeted by the cashier, who made packing my shopping simple and stress-free. Unfortunately, while packing, I placed a box of chocolates to one side to avoid them being squashed and accidentally left them behind at the till point. I only realised once I arrived home, so I returned to the store with my receipt, worried that they may have gone missing. When I came back, security was very helpful and directed me to a member of staff. As I was explaining the situation, I noticed the same staff member who had helped me earlier. He immediately understood, pointed behind the till, and showed me that my box of chocolates had been safely kept. I am extremely grateful for the honesty, kindness, and helpfulness of your team. The staff were approachable, attentive, and clearly willing to help, especially during what I know is a very busy time of year. Thank you to everyone at Greengate Tesco for such a positive in-store experience. 22/12/2025 12.31 store: 6665 checkout 002”

“The negative reviews are unfortunate because this is a small and very busy store where the staff do the best they can. I’ve always found them helpful and friendly. They were terrific during the pandemic also. Give the poor staff a break or go work in a supermarket and see how you like the long hours and the rubbish pay!”

“Visited the store back in march and they were all super helpful I purchased the black double wash basin and it has been nothing short of perfect for the salon. Really good quality and super comfortable for my clients. Everyone has commented on how comfy it is. I needed another component for the wash basin and I got a response instantly with it being sent out straight away Can’t fault the help I have received Thanks so much guys at Dir store”
