Distance to the nearest supermarket or convenience chain, km, every council ranked

Measured in a straight line from where people live and averaged, to the big grocers' stores of every size, their convenience shops, Spar and the cooperatives among them. Independent shops are not on the list. Figures for June 2026, published for 361 councils in the UK. Lowest first: the order says where a council sits, not whether that is good.

Joint lowest: City of London; Hammersmith and Fulham, 0.2. The council in the middle: Knowsley, 0.7. Highest: Na h-Eileanan Siar, 10.3.
