About the Venue
Sainsbury’s flagship eco-store, with its twin wind turbines, timber cladding and grass walls is affectionately known as the "Teletubby store". It is part-powered by wind, insulated by earth and naturally lit by the sun. Free electric vehicle charging is available for customers and Sainsbury's are converting the majority of their London online delivery fleet to electric vans and trucks, such as those seen in the 2009 Eco-Rally convoy.
