Entrance to Sainsbury's, Greenwich, pictured in 2010

... that President of South Africa Jacob Zuma requested a tour of a Sainsbury's store in Greenwich (pictured) during his state visit to the United Kingdom in 2010?

Source: "Jacob Zuma visits a branch of Sainsbury’s in southeast London, yesterday, where not even his entourage could distract everyone. ... He had requested the tour on his three-day state visit because of the amount of trade the company does with South Africa." President Zuma visits Sainsbury’s but shoppers are engrossed by cheese

ALT1: ... that despite having been opened in 1999 and shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize, Sainsbury's, Greenwich (pictured) was demolished in 2016 after an application to make it a listed building was rejected? Source: "The building’s innovation and architectural merit were recognised through a number of awards, including: shortlisting for the RIBA Stirling Prize; ... C20 Society fought to have the building listed at grade II *, but following English Heritage’s recommendation that it was not good enough, the Secretary of State decided to issue a certificate of immunity. The building was demolished in 2016 and replaced with an IKEA store." Lost Modern: Sainsbury’s, Greenwich, London

Hi Gazamp, fantastic article. I can remember this building being demolished so soon after it was built, an outrage for sustainable construction. Review: article created 23 September and far exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on sources cited; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in article and check out to sources cited; image is appropriate and freely licensed. Looks great to me, keep up the good work! - Dumelow (talk) 07:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meant to say, I would consider adding "built in 1999" or "2000" before Stirling Prize to emphasise how new this structure was when it was demolished but down to personal preference - Dumelow (talk) 07:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments! I've added "opened in 1999" since that's what the source given says - let me know if there's any problems with that. Thanks, Gazamp (talk) 16:51, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
