Asda has launched a new hourly home delivery from 96 of its stores – here are the London locations it will operate from.
The supermarket giant is seeking to offer customers more shopping options and said in June that the new ‘super-fast service’ would launch at three branches following a lawsuit.
The company’s vice president of online grocery shopping, Simon Gregg, said slots were regularly sold out in some pilot stores.

The service gives customers access to the grocery store’s full online range of more than 30,000 products for delivery within an hour, if they live within a radius of three kilometers from a store in the scheme and order up to 70 items.
The catch? A fee of £ 8.50 will be charged for the delivery.
However, the price can not seem too unreasonable considering the delivery speed and the new feature that allows users to track their order from the store to their door in real time.
Other companies are also looking at ways to get customer orders faster for them where possible.
For example, Ocado Zoom is Ocado Retail’s same-day shopping service. This can only be the new norm.

London locations:
There will only be two London Asdas offering the service in the meantime, though this number is likely to increase depending on the success of the new delivery system.
One of the places is the Old Kent Road supermarket in Southwark, South East London.
The other is the Isle of Dogs Asda in Tower Hamlets, East London.
Anyone within a three mile radius of both stores will be able to use the June service.
