Where do East Campus residents do their food shopping?

There are a couple of Nisa on campus, but York doesn't seem to have many supermarkets within walking distance of the Uni

See there is a Sainsburys local north of Campus East but nearest Aldi looks to be across the stray from West Campus, so a bike ride maybe

The big Asda and Morrisons seem to be miles away

Hi there,

There are a few supermarket options nearby to campus:

Aldi, Fulford

You can get to the Aldi on the U3 bus from Campus East Interchange or outside Heslington Hall on Campus West.

For the Aldi, you'll need to get off at Imphal Barracks, and then cross the road to the Aldi. Here's a map of the bus routes


Morrisons / Lidl / Waitrose at Foss Islands

You can get to Morrisons / Lidl / Waitrose on the U1 bus from Campus East or Campus West

You'll need to get off at Walmgate, and then it's a ~10 minute walk to Foss Islands from there


Alternatively, lots of students will do a shopping order together from Asda or Sainsburys and this will be delivered to campus.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 😀
Hannah 😀
