FABELS



Fabels
67 Chiltern Street
London, W1U 6NJ

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 65p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Despite being directly opposite AD Food and despite the road sign (top left), this shop appears to have an address on Chiltern Street rather than Paddington. I've never really understood how addresses for corner properties work.

AD FOOD



AD Food
29 Paddington Street
London, W1U 4HA

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 65p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This shop is directly opposite Fabels. It was incredible. I stood on the traffic island, took one picture, turned 180° and took the next one. Not surprisingly, both shops sold at the same price, a reasonable 65p.

SWEET EXPRESS



Sweet Express
33 Greek Street,
London, W1D 5DJ

TWIRL AVAILABILITY:
Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 70p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The man was outside enjoying a delicious, refreshing cigarette when we visited. He promptly stubbed the fag out in the street and came inside. 70p is quite expensive, but the location is very central, and high prices are to be expected. Sorry about the blurry picture. Twirl spotting should only really be attempted during the hours of daylight. A lesson learned. Who is that figure in the doorway?

AP FOOD EXPRESS



AP Food Express

228 Shaftesbury Avenue
London, WC2H 8EG

TWIRL AVAILABILITY:
Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Despite boasting that it's open 24 hours a day, when I was there at about 6.30pm, it was closed. Well, not closed, exactly. Locked. After rattling the door for a while, a guy popped up from a trapdoor inside the store and let me in. I quickly bought my Twirl and left, not wanting to imagine what might be down in the basement.

AP FOOD EXPRESS



AP Food Express
48 Harrington Road
London, SW7 3ND

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 69p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This shop is open 24 hours you'll be pleased to know. I felt a bit sorry for the guy behind the counter who was forced to wear an "AP Food" visor. He didn't look very comfortable in it, and I suspect AP Food don't care very much about their staff, otherwise they wouldn't make them wear such silly uniforms.

COSTCUTTER



Costcutter
17-19 York Road
London, SE1 7NJ

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Average
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Twirl information and photo supplied by wardytron, who comments "They only had 5 Twirls left, although this might have been a result of their 24-hour opening policy. It's possible that 'all-night ravers' had come in and bought most of their Twirls in order to combat 'the munchies,' an affliction that affects drug users, not that I'd know about that sort of thing. Twirls were 59p. I've taken the picture at an angle so that you can see the table and chair provided in the event that customer wish to sit outside on a stinking pavement surrounded by traffic fumes and birdshit".
