The nearest shop for newspapers, bread and milk is on Seeley Drive and Lyall Avenue, about a 6 minute walk. It’s also a Post Office.
 
The nearest area for food and shopping generally, is Crystal Palace, where you’ll find a large Sainsburys supermarket on Westow Hill.

It’s about a 20-25 minute walk.

Finally, there's a petrol station at the top of Fountain Drive (left out of Great Brownings), that does the usual essentials such as milk and snacks.
