Tesco Carlton provide a well-maintained grassed area with trees, tucked unobtrusively between their store & Foxhill Road East. It has a wooden seat + rubbish bin, and was the perfect area on Thursday 23 June to eat a sandwich, choccy-bar + can of coke after a hard afternoon’s surveying.

Refreshed, I went on to acquire the contact details for the Carlton Police Station (it turned out to be ‘999’) (joke), then went home.

Coda October 2016:

I order to be able to build their superstore at the centre of Carlton, Tesco needed to be able to get a demolition order on a Children’s Primary School and also — and this is the one that blows my mind — get a churchyard deconsecrated (almost impossible for other businesses, but Tesco managed to do it). Guess where the old churchyard was located? Yes, you guessed it… it is the “well-maintained grassed area” where I took my rest.

A quite place to have a break can be hard to find. As well as parks .. cemeteries can be good, tend to lack toilets. Humm do Tescos have public toilets?

Yes Warin61, this Tesco does have a toilet that can be used by customers. As it happens, there is a very large cemetery opposite the Police building, and the Police are next door to Tesco.
