Marks & Spencer

Very iconic and as a visitor you should at least go once to say you have been there. However you can feel and observe that the place has aged.
Other than that, it’s a larger department store with multiple floors.
Good place to find reasonably priced and overall nice clothing.

love marks and Spencer’s food court :-) it’s nice to be home, back in London. Your find all you healthy to go snacks here as well as all traditional british food

The clothes were nothing to write home about.
But the food! My goodness the food hall!
I left with so many goodies that foodies like myself would enjoy. Elderflower Chocolates! White chocolate buttery biscuits! Millionaire shortbread flapjacks! Who comes up with this stuff?
I don’t think I will be returning to London anytime soon. But if I ever do, I am going straight back to this place.

They take ApplePay!!! Yay! Love shopping here when we are in the UK! They have reasonably priced clothes that are very trendy. You can shop for your children to your grandmother!

A very big M&S. Lots of options and also great to grab an office lunch.

If you’re ever in London … M&S is a must stop. Their clothing, shoes etc are standard department store fair with the occasional coveted item that makes you want to forfeit your pay check. Where this place shines is their Foodhall. They have an assortment of prepackaged foods that are great when you don’t feel like cooking. If you’re a tourist, stop in here to get a salad/​sandwich and a split of wine or premixed cocktails and go sit in a lovely London park. I remember when we used to have these stores in Canada, I sometimes wish for them to make a comeback .Then I rethink it, because you’re always collecting brownie points when you bring friends M&S products after you’ve visited London

Well organised and stocked. Clean and tidy. Knowledgeable and helpful staff with the best food hall on Oxford street by a mike. You could browse in there for hours! The bakery and carvery are great value and never fail to disappoint. Perfect place to pick up picnic food and wine before heading to the park or grabbing a fresh lunch. Just watch out for the lunch rush — you can expect to queue for a wee while if you visit between 12 and 2pm

The food hall is one of our favourites. Tonight they saved us when no one cld agree upon dinner. Everyone was easily able to find things for take away that could be brought to the hotel for a picnic dinner.
The selections are all fresh and reasonably priced!

I really like their burger because it’s served with a soft bun. Their chicken rotisserie is really a good deal, with £6 you can have a half chicken and chips! I like to come here and have simple dinner on my way back home. The place has several table and stools also so you don’t have to worry about eating while you walk.

I could not find a location for the M&S Simply Food at Marylebone Station, but this is what I am reviewing rather than the Oxford St Location.
We stayed across the street at the Landmark for a week and did lots of snack and small meal shopping at M&S Simply Food. In addition to wine, beer and the not so healthy stuff, they also offer a fantastic array of healthier choices like vegetables and hummus, lovely salad with wheatberry or quinoa, nuts and other inspired toppings. Easily warmed entrees and tasty sandwiches and wraps.
Most of the food is very reasonably priced and of excellent quality. I was impressed.

This M&S would appear to be the Oxford Street flagship. It’s got a nice outer façade and is located next to Selfridge’s. The inside, however, makes me think a bit more of «Are You Being Served?» than anything else. It’s terribly dated and the ceilings are oddly low in many parts of the store.
Physical appearance aside, this location is a nice one. Bigger than most of the other London locations, it has all sorts of departments that you can’t always find in a neighborhood high street location. Service is good, and the prices are M&S standard. A nice place.

As good an M&S as any. Which is to say, very good.
Most of our time here was in the basement, for groceries. This is an extensive and affordable grocery store with lots of exciting treats – luxury yogurts, small tubs of flapjacks, tasty chip flavors, etc.
My only complaint here is that the bathroom is so wonderfully hidden that finding it is its own adventure.

I’m talking baked goods from the bakery using French Flour um yes please! Cookies, cheese breads, they’re all really tasty.

Super grand magasin sur Oxford street. Fringues, accessoires et alimentation, vous pouvez vraiment trouver votre bonheur ici. Bön ce n’est pas toujours de très bon gout en matière de mode mais il y a de quoi faire tout de même (les sous-​vêtements femmes par exemple ;)
L’intérêt de ce magasin c’est qu’il est ouvert super tard et qu’il possède un guichet de change à l’intérieur bien plus intéressant que les changes officiels qu’on trouve un peu partout dans Londres. Le taux est vraiment intéressant et la commission moins élevée qu’ailleurs.

I grew up on Marks & Spencer products and, every Christmas, had some wine gums stuffed into my stocking. What a delicious tradition.
Flash forward to today: no need to wait for each December, now I can get myself to Marks & Spencers and, as an adult, BUY ALL THE PERCY PIG PINK GUMMIES I WANT! (Mom, if you’re reading: I buy vegetables, too).
Marks & Spencers is great. I like their commitment to British-​sourced products. I like their packaging. I like that their «prepared» meals, conveniently ready-​to-​go, never taste processed. They also regularly come out with new products, which is lovely; nice to be a heritage brand with old stand-​by items but also jazz things up. It’s TwentyTwelve, y’all, let’s eat pulled pork soup! (for instance. Btw: it’s delish)
A slight mark down for their spicy hummus which I can no longer find on shelves, but I’ll get over it. Promise.
Unilocal note: post-​work and lunch hour M-​F can be a zoo so if you have the option to shop during «off» hours, do so!

For a girl who lives in the Geneva area, Marks and Spencer is like Mecca. They have good things at good prices. Don’t be put off by the weird lighting and stark flooring of this store, its all part of their greening process. I will say that some of the styles can be a little old, but they have a ton of the basics at great prices. I even found a replacement for my favorite bra that has been discontinued, which is a glorious find for a woman! The food area, unlike any other… Ive been to great stores with great food areas but this one is hands down fabulous. The fresh food, cakes, candies, everything was looking great. And the best part is you can buy on line and ship to France so stop there and know your UK sizes and you are set!

Why, my colonial self is screaming «Dodwell’s»…that’s the 70’s…
I LOVE M & S… they have great clothing items! I grew up wearing loads of everything from underwear to swimsuits from them…4 stars because the quality of their clothing is not what it used to be… but we love them anyhow…
Their Viennese sandwich (cookies) are the best ever… even their teabags are good!
Well…what can I say…

This middle of the road store sells good quality clothing items. I bought a cute pair of summer sandals, a ton of necklaces and some technical gear for the gym (2012 Olympics and non-​Olympics branded). The prices are good for the amount and quality you get.
From what I could observe, the clothing /​dress styles seemed to be more oriented towards older women (not necessarily matronly) than younger women. I chose not to buy clothes as I found more stylish finds in other stores.
Next time, I will have to try the supermarket area as everyone is raving about it.

Love, Love, LOVE Marks & Spencer. For someone that is an avid Whole Foods shopper in the States it is great to have a store that is prevelant in London that sells good wholesome and healthy food. I enjoyed that there were meals you could simply pick up and were ready to eat. Also, this was a much less expensive option to eat lunch than eating in an actual restaurant while I was walking about.
Their sandwiches were good and it was nice to see the calories posted on just about every prepared meal that they sold.
Salads, pasta, cooked protiens, sandwiches, wraps, cheeses, desserts, M&S has just about anything you are looking for!

M&S — Marks and Spencer — or as my friends often call it — ‘Mundane and Staid’ or some even say, ‘Mash and Sausages’ — being the very staple diet of any REAL British person. And, just like Mash and Sausages, ‘Marks and Sparks,’ (yet another nickname) has gone through countless stages. In ancient times their clothing ranges were made of rather good quality materials. You just knew were hard wearing and close to 100% pure natural fibres. Durable and reliable. But, unfortunately in modern times, it’s been a little bit like an ‘Old Moll at a Butcher’s picnic’ ‘once the skirt starts a liftin’ the Asian cracks start appearin’!
One can almost conjure up an image of back room sweat shops somewhere deep in the orient — churning the garments out at a high speed turnover rate. But, to give them some slack, isn’t that High Street Clothing stores these days, everywhere. Turning any collar in any clothing store means the odds of seeing the ‘Made in China’ label is very high.
Let’s face it, M&S have a lot of competition out there these days, even if they do have Twiggy at the advertising helm. In today’s society Big Chains are geared to take a ‘little off a lot’ — and, as we all know, newspapers never lie — and they did state recently, women buy close to 62lbs of clothing every year, most of which they don’t even get to wear — men say, ‘go figure’ because the result doesn’t show in ‘The figure!’ Which means, women buy for just the look and seldom for practicality or the longevity of the garment. So, dispensable buying is basically just therapy — perhaps far cheaper than going to a shrink. SUMMARY: As long as it’s pretty and brightly coloured, it makes many feel good inside. And, as M&S made a profit this last year, they must know what they are doing… even if I personally cry ‘It’s not cricket!‘
Marketing and clever psychology. You look around any M&S store these days and your gaze wanders to all the brightly coloured items hanging from clothing rails and from a distance, they do look great — The designs are clever, so you think, ‘I could virtually eat this stuff — and then, the wizened shopper wanders a little bit closer, hesitating momentarily to say, ‘Hang on, this is really sub– standard fashion, almost bordering on ‘cheap and nasty’, what’s happened to this place?
Their most famous customer, Princess Di would now scuttle out of the doors poste haste. Yes, sadly, style and numbers have taken over from quality and substance, just like the population of the globe — all in order to compete with all the ‘cut price’ stores out there. I guess, they have little option. But doesn’t the devout M&S shopper deserve better than this? After all, M&S goes back ‘Donkey’s years’ and should be far superior… Like all British Citizens. Shouldn’t it?
M&S being a household name, always struck a chord for generations to hardy, wholesome and herringbone. I am not saying that they really need to be boring and conservative. You can have sass and panache as well as maintaining finesse by choosing better quality cloth. Their expensive marketing and television advertising certainly portrays that, but maintaining that visionary image when actually in the store? No way, Jose! So why do they sacrifice one thing for something else? M&S, so sorry, but it definitely shows, old mate!
Their leather goods these days — shoes, handbags, belts etc are hard and brittle like yesterday’s beefburger — making you think, what kind of awesome old cow was slaughtered in the process to reach this rather decayed end result? Must be right weary oriental heifers… or is that just a load of old bull, because I personally would prefer to go off and shop in Milano? You decide. I almost have. Just need the fare, please.
On the upside, which earns them an extra star here from me, their food range is always great, I could never complain about that and I must say their innovative healthy salad ranges — which tells you every possible food intolerance — gets two thumbs up from me, so they are doing something well on the inside. Maybe, that’s all that counts! Logically, sustenance beats rags, anyway.
By the way, just so that customers don’t need to use their GPS systems in M&S stores, as well as outside, I suggest better store directions inside — cause finding certain ranges of clothing and even certain departments is often harder that driving backwards in the Gobi desert in a heavy sand storm.

Ah M&S !! Un incontournable quand on va faire un tour à Londres. J’adore me balader dans les rayons alimentations pour y débusquer toutes ces spécialités culinaires britaniques que sont les sauces (souvent étranges) les crackers, les sandwichs triangulaires et les thés…
The english touch sur 5 étages… Un délice

Sehr exklusiv, aber auch relativ teuer.

marks &spencer ist ein super laden in dem man auch wunderbar einen ganzen tag verbringen kann denn hier gibts lauter tolle sache die man braucht und die einem das leben schwermachen… denn man kann sich einfach nicht entscheiden was man jetzt kaufen möchte da die auswahl wie gesgt riesig ist… immer wieder gerne…

c est toujours un plaisir d aller à m et s moi mon rayon préferé reste l alimentation les gateaux digestives natures ou chocolat miam miam les cookies aussi et les gels douches crémes parfumées sentent bon les vetements sont classiques mais de bonnes qualités c vraiment dommage qu’il ont fermé en france

There are 2 M&S stores on Oxford Street and I guess this must be the flagship store as it’s slightly bigger with more floors. M&S has become synonymous with reliable, good quality goods and it’s alleged that theb majority of the population buy their underwear from M&S
I tend not to come shopping at this shop as I tend to hang around the other end of Oxford Street. However, this review is to highlight their currency exchange service on the 3^rd floor. I have my go to currency exchange place in Queensway, which offers the best rates to buy foreign currency. However, they didn’t sell the yuan (Chinese currency) for my impending trip to China.
After a fruitless trek through a lot of London, I tried this M&S location and they came through with the yuan at a good rate. It just took 3 goes to explain to the cashier that I wanted the yuan, not yen.
All set for China with the parents and sister now

Très bien
Très content d’avoir trouvé un Mark et Spencer à Londres après la fermeture de ceux en France. J’ai pu acheter des fringues et faire une pause en achetant ses produits tellement bons. Super magasin.

Le meilleur magasin du monde
J’ai découvert Marks & Spencer à Lyon en 1978. Puis à Paris, enfin ils se sont installés à Nice (côte d’Azur). Je trouvais tout ce dont j’avais envie. J’achetais 6 paires de chaussures par an. Des vêtements de qualité. Des tas de petits cadeaux pour mes proches. Une alimentation exotique. Maintenant qu’ils né sont plus en France, je suis désemparée. Où trouver un catalogue de vente par correspondance? un site internet? pour pouvoir commander à distance. Merci de penser à nous !

Incontournable!!!
Nous avions cette enseigne en France mais depuis peu, elle a disparue: Dommage!!! Par contre à Londres, la taille des magasins est doublée voire triplée, c’est un pur bonheur… pour tout: les petits encas, la confiserie, et surtout le rayon cartes, papier cadeaux, tout est à profusion… C’est un délice d’y faire ses emplettes…

Pas si cher…
Les Marks and Spencer Anglais présentent plus de choix et sont moins chers que leurs confrères français. L sandwicherie est trés interessante car elle permet de bien manger pour un prix mini, ce qui est miraculeux à Londres.
