Sainsbury's, Greenwich, also known as the Sainsbury's Millennium Store,[17] was a Sainsbury's supermarket building at 55 Bugsby's Way, Greenwich Peninsula, London. Opening in 1999 as Sainsbury's flagship store, the building design incorporated environmentally conscious features and gained critical acclaim, being shortlisted for the 2000 Stirling Prize. It was billed as "the first Green supermarket in the world".[18]

In 2014, planning permission to demolish the store was approved by Greenwich London Borough Council with Sainsbury's moving to a new site in Charlton. After an application for listed status failed, demolition began in 2016 and an IKEA store was built on the site.[19]
