Did you know that your union has plenty of places for you to grab a very affordable snack or meal? Well, we do!

Avery Hill – Engine Room
Avery Hill – The Village Shop
Greenwich – Lé Cafe
Greenwich – The Greenwich Shop
Medway – Essentials

Why not take a load off and grab a bite, your wits needs food so boost the power to your brain box between lectures or after class.  Or just kick back and read the latest issue of The Telescope…

You will find the staff in all of our shops and bars, friendly and happy as everyone loves to work in a lively atmosphere, they are really helpful as well, and as most of our staff are students they can give you some real personal insight into life at Greenwich, directions to the supermarket, or to the class you were supposed to start five minutes ago. 

We also run promotions in all our shops on a range of products, you’ll probably see notices up here and in the buildings themselves all year round so keep your eyes on the prize :)

The village shop is just that, a shop based in a village. Do you see why we named it that? Avery Hill (Southwood site) is where the halls of residence are and 1300 students living there at one time. Extremely useful, no...indispensible when you are craving a pot noodle or you’ve run out of loo roll. The shop sells all sorts of bits from canned fruit to a daily paper and they even sell London transport tickets. The shop is a local and efficient way of getting all your groceries. It even sells knives, forks and plates in case your new housemate has hidden the mouldy remains of last week’s dinner under their bed!
