I can't believe Sydenham is the biggest Sainsburys in the country! I've been to two or three Asdas and at least half a dozen Tescos that dwarf it.

The only other Sainsbury's i believed may be larger than Sydenham was the previous Sava Centre store in Merton, but when they rebranded it as Sainsbury's and sold part of it to M&S a few years back it ended up a lot smaller and the one in Sydenham expanded simultaneously.

Also it may sound plausible to say there are far more larger Tesco stores but in actual fact the size of Sainsbury's in Sydenham could almost definetely give them a run for their money. I think we underestimate its size.

Currently the largest Tesco is in Watford but they are building an eco-friendly one in Woolwich at the moment which once built is supposed to be the largest Tesco ever built.

There's a Tesco in Slough which I would say is rather bigger than Savancentre, a Tesco near Hayes (middx) of a similar size and an Asda on the outskirts of Bristol that makes Slough's Tesco look like a corner shop.

I think I'm going to watch this programme on catch up TV, since I'm from Derby (where the star of the show came from) and now live in Sydenham!

Sydenham Sainsbury's isn't the largest Sainsbury's. It's the busiest!!

The largest Sainsbury's was featured in last night's show and that was in Finsbury. I think that's what they said. Definitely wasn't Sydenham.

It's Finchley Road I think
I used to go there sometimes when I lived in Kilburn, before locating here
It's huuuge. (Altho I still preferred the Waitrose round the corner. Cut me and I bleed Waitrose)
