The supermarket wars are really hotting up in SW11. For some time there's been a Tesco Metro on Battersea Rise that I pass on my way to the library but I noticed today that two doors down they've just started building a new Waitrose Rapido. On the other side of the road there's a sign saying we should expect an ASDA Nippy in April 2008.

So I will soon be rather spoilt for choice in terms of smaller stock, bigger price versions of the major supermarkets. Once building works have been completed on Battersea Rise I'll have four within a few minutes walking distance, once you include the ALDI Shit-off-a-Shovel already on Lavender Hill.
