The new Sainsbury’s Local store at the bottom of the Ontario Point tower, Canada Water, opened its doors on Tuesday morning.

The store is Sainsbury’s first foray into SE16, with the nearest branches being at Bermondsey Square and New Cross.

The shop is larger than many of the local convenience stores. Indeed, the size of the trading area means that its  opening hours are restricted by Sunday trading legislation.

Sainsbury’s Local Canada Water is open Monday-Saturday 7am-11pm and Sunday 11am-5pm.
