Amazon has opened its fourth cashierless UK supermarket in Canary Warf, which will operate under its “Amazon Fresh” brand.
The supermarket uses the e-commerce giant’s “Just Walk Out Shopping” technology, which uses a combination of cameras, sensors, and machine learning to detect when a customer puts items in their basket, and then automatically charges their account when they walk out.
The technology works via the Amazon mobile app but doesn’t require an Amazon Prime subscription to use.
Amazon has launched similar stores in Ealing, White City and Wembley over the past three months.
The 2,500 square feet supermarket is set to open from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm every day.
Amazon said it intends to open more supermarkets equipped with this technology in London but did not provide any additional detail.
Cashierless shopping technology continues to receive worldwide interest, in November 2020 Sydney-based firm Tiliter completed a $7.5 million capital raise to develop technology which uses computer vision to recognise products without barcodes.

The fashion industry is no stranger to breaking the mould and setting trends, but the pursuit of style can come at a huge cost to the environment.
New legislation, such as the European Union's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, will set mandatory minimums for the inclusion of recycled fibres in textiles, making them longer-lasting and easier to repair.
