BERRY'S NEWS

Berry's News
58 Gloucester Road
London, SW7 4QT

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Ignore the scaffolding, Berry's News is open for business as usual. The layout of this shop is a bit odd. It's very long and thin and is separated in two by a central shelving unit, photocopier and Lottery counter.

THE EMPEROR STORE

The Emperor Store
48A Gloucester Road
London, SW7 4QT

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Not available
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Despite its rather grand sounding name, The Emperor Store fails even to have a single Cadbury's Twirl.

SAGGARS NEWS

Saggers News
46B Gloucester Road
London, SW7 4QT

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p

ROSS FOOD & WINE

Ross Food & Wine
16 Gloucester Road
London, SW7 4RB

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Good
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 69p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This shop is very close to where I used to work, however it's a bit warm and too expensive. For my lunchtime Twirl, I used to go to Saggars Newsagent nearby.

UPDATE: Following this visit, hencehemmo filed this AUDIO report of a later trip to Ross Food & Wine.

CRISPINS FOOD & WINE

Crispins Food & Wine
15 Kensington High Street
London, W8 5NP

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 63p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This was the fourth branch of Crispins I had visited in a single day. Their prices are all over the place. This was one of the cheaper branches.

CRISPINS FOOD HALL

Crispins Food Hall
33 Kensington High Street
London, W8 5EA

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 69p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: A rather grand branch of Crispins which describes itself as a "Food Hall". Pretty expensive. There was a man with a very high pitched laugh sharing a joke with the woman behind the counter.

CRISPINS FOOD & WINE

Crispins Food & Wine
11 Kensington Church Street
London, W8 4DS

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 63p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I had to wait ages to take this photo because people kept stopping to look at the newspapers outside. No-one actually went in and bought one though. Crispins, it seems, is viewed more as a sort of public service information source rather than an actual shop.

EURO FOOD & WINE

Euro Food & Wine
63A Kensington Church Street
London, W8 4BA

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent, in fact doubly excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelves
TWIRL PRICE: 65p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: There were TWO sets of Twirls on different shelves here. Very impressive. They claim to sell souvenirs, but apart from some postcards, I didn't really see much which would count - unless you consider a Sure roll-on deodorant to be a souvenir.

KSR FOOD & WI E

KSR Food & Wi e
112 Kensington Church Street
London, W8 4BH

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Not available
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The fact they hadn't replaced the missing 'N' from the sign on the front of this shop should have warned me that they wouldn't be organised enough to order a few Twirls. You guys need to sort yourselves out.
