NIKIT NEWS & OFF LICENCE
Nikit News
8 Inverness Street
London, NW1 7HJ
TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 60p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The name of this shop is possibly a bit unwise. Please don't consider it an invitation. The sign outside advises of a "Meal Deal", where for £2.40 you can buy any chocolate bar, crisps and a Relentless energy drink. I'm not sure if this actually counts as a meal.
I don't care if you have unwrapped the chocolate bar and placed it next to a pile of crisps, it's still not a meal.
SUPERSAVE
Supersave
3 Kentish Town Road
London, NW1 8NH
TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Not available
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Very clever. I'd started to suspect there was some sort of cartel responsible for making sure all the shops on this stretch of Kentish Town Road sell Twirls at exactly the same price. Capital Foods and Booty Wine both charge 59p. I thought I'd spotted a pattern. Supersave don't sell Twirls. How convenient.

Capital Foods
13 Kentish Town Road
London, NW1 8NH
TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This shop is just a couple of doors down from Booty Wine. Both shops sell Twirls for exactly the same price, 59p. It's almost like they're running a cartel.

SPHERE XPRESS
Sphere Xpress
61 Parkway
London, NW1 7PP
TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Not available
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I haven't been Twirl Spotting for quite a while. This was my first shop in a long time, so you can imagine how I felt when I discovered they didn't have any Twirls. I was suicidal. Also, this shop is huge. Not huge. But bigger than it looks. It just goes to show that bigger doesn't always mean better. That made cheered me up at least.

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
