Interesting, although the search is somewhat broken. My postcode area SY4, brings up nothing despite there being lots in Telford and Shrewsbury. I would expect it to be able to tell me where the nearest is, even if it was in Central London. Wonders if it would allow me to have something delivered to one of these locations. A few years ago pizza hut did prevent me ordering a pizza online for collection because the collection point was too far from my home (card registered address).
