Came by the other day and it was like walking into a candy store! Marks and Spencer is located by the Moorgate underground and is walking distance from Shoreditch. There is staff by the entrance in a M&S jumper with a body worn camera and headset. The basement level is a food hall with a wide variety of premium food products, fruit, vegetables, pre-cooked meals, ready to eat meals, ready to cook meals! They also had a wide variety of premium biscuits, chocolates, sandwiches, and beverages including wine! They had some pretty high end towels that were 50% off too! Upper level had an assortment of clothes for men. Their in-house cologne was quite nice! 2 bottles for 25! read more

See all

Too bad location is closing....found great men's clothing, food area too busy for me, but massive selection

At this Marks & Spencer I made some important discoveries in the downstairs food hall. Namely: - Stick of gorgeous English cheddar cheese, 40p - Pack of sherbet lemons, 39p - Large vegetable samosa w. potato, cauliflower, spinach and peas, £1.25 This place caters obviously to the City suits who work in the vicinity - lots of single serving items and plenty of booze. read more

I come here mainly for the Food on the Move lunches. It is brisk and food is quite decent, have great wedges and sweet potatoes fries. I also like their roast beef bloomer sandwiches, as a treat as if not on a deal can be quite expensive for a take-away lunch. They often have deals, so can be good value. The other area in the basement is taken over by the Food Hall. The staff here is not so helpful, especially at the self-service tills, when you are stuck, they really are not interested, as if you are disturbing them, and this is during non-peak times, hence I try to go straight to the only one check-out available who is always very helpful. It's a very busy Food Hall at lunch times. Queues for the self-service at lunch times are terrible. So avoid during the peak time. read more

This is essentially an ode to my ongoing love affair with M&S. One of my first items of business whenever in the UK is to buy a bevy of items from this most wonderful place. Where else can you find a nicely lined fall coat, body scrub and canned mojitos on the same receipt?! And about those canned mojitos: They include two measures of white rum and are the perfect addition to your picnic pack or pregame. Then there's all of the other amazing things like seasonal terrines, individually wrapped wensleydale cheeses, flapjacks, elderflower drinks, adorable mary janes and work blouses. Goodness me, I just love this place! Marks & Spencer is also home to a wonderful assortment of wine and the best luxury yogurts and ready meals among all of its competitors. Some of the locations, like the one nearby in Liverpool Station, are "on the go" style and don't include the clothing and home & decor sections, but typically they have all of the other things I'm looking for. I can't wait to get back! read more

I worked in this area for 5 years and always bought my lunch here and had a peek around the apparel! I love M&S and love this particular location for the size of it. They do the best sandwiches "smoke ham cheese and pickle" my favourite. And their brand of crisps are low-fat and out of this world! They sell the best quality bras. Expensive, but worth it cause they last 8 years. Clothing is so-so, some years good, some bad. Depends on who they're having design that year. Over all... I LOVE M&S! read more

A large branch of Marks and Sparks, with food hall downstairs (usual amazing range of salads) and 3 floors of clothes above. My favourite thing about this store is the huge lingerie section. They do massive ranges of bras for any purpose: sports, under t-shirt, nursing, maximiser or minimiser, or just looking nice. I always find what I need: not the cheapest, but good value for something that can last for years. They are also useful for public loos, though they do let the side down a bit halfway down the stairs and so tiny that the seat gets covered in water from the sink. And in spite of their being a disabled symbol along the sing pointing to the loos there's no sign of a disabled loo: I think that sign is actually pointing to the disabled refuge area on the stairs read more

A spacious store with most of the departments offered by m&s, howver, gets very busy at lunchtimes/when there's a sale on. The layout of the store doesn't seem ideal as there tends to be a lot of people traffic in some areas while none in another. An OK shopping experience for a lunch break but I'd say go to a proper shopping centre m&s for pleasure shopping! read more

What can I say? The more I complained, the more the staff made me feel I should just put up with whatever poor service they cared to dish out. If customers continue to visit this food hall, the staff will just carry on regardless. The best thing we can all do is vote with our feet. Having said that, the people they employ on the other floors seem perfectly normal. Some kind of social experiment? Postscript: Since then, I have made 3 phone calls to M&S head office. Each time I am promised a call from a manager, but no one ever gets back in touch Very disappointing behaviour from an organisation that supposedly prides itself on its customer service. read more

Great place for a lunchtime sandwich. The variety is good and always fresh. It's convininiet for me when I am in London and usually pop down for a sandwich. read more

Huge M&S, they have a really good selection of clothes/lunchtime food and grocceries. Right next to moorgate tube aswel.
