The East Sheen Branch of Waitrose is about to embark on a £5 million renovation of the store and the car park. Although there is no information posted in the store, enquiries of staff made by EastSheenMatters have revealed that work will start on Tuesday 7 April 2026. Fears that the store would close for a month are unfounded, and internal changes will be undertaken aisle by aisle.

It is not known what work will be done in the car park other than repainting lines. Sadly it is doubtful whether that will influence drivers who ignore the one way system.

It also remains to be seen whether Waitrose will be able to take into account the warnings they have recently been given about potential accidents between pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers using the car park.
