They seem to be popping up in Spars - with coffee kiosks and doughnuts so look there!
We've got rocks and trees, and trees and rocks, and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and.water!

Hmm. so apparently separating Wendy's and Tim's had some benefit.

On the Canadian Expats forums, there's a whole thread on this stuff- apparently there's some in Scotland too. I think someone came up with a whole list, I'll have to check it out.

After watching Canada lose to Russia in the WC's i was walking up to Picadilly Circus to get the tube. I literally did a triple take when I looked in the Spar on Haymarket and saw a beautiful display of Tim Hortons Doughnut boxes and coffee cups. It was breath taking. Similar to the first time I saw the houses of parliament or St. Pauls cathedral. After wiping the tears of dis-belief from my eyes I had to take a photo. With knee's shaking and buterflies in my stomach i mustered the courage to enter the store, but was disappointed to find out they didn't have freshly brewed coffee. They did however, have a self service coffee/cappuccino machine. As it was 11pm I wasn't in the mood to be disappointed by a fake Tim Hortons coffee, so I passed. I will however go back this weekend. I'll keep you posted

The Timmy's coffee at the Spar kiosks is disappointing to say the least. No double double (no cream in fact, watery, flavourless- don't waste your money.
I ended up dumping mine out on lawn outside the National Gallery.

Hey guys, here's an article about at least one of the "Tim Hortons" locations in England that I just found. Be careful--they're not all truly Timmy Ho's!

Why dismal? Are you/have you become a typical Londoner, who thinks that the world should revolve around 'the big smoke'?

...however if you are looking for the Oreo cookies, etc.this is the place


Oreo Cookies are widely available all over the UK and have been for years. Even my little corner shop sells them. Cheaper in Asda, of course. :)
