No trip to England is not worthy of a visit to at least one Marks & Spencer…read more If you are an American and unfamiliar with M&S, just think of it as the Trader Joe's of America when it comes to food M&S Foods sells all M&S brands. The biscuits (especially the shortbread) are not to be missed and you should save room in your suitcases. M&S (regular) it is like a department store. Great quality clothing for great prices. If you are traveling to England during your birthday month, make sure to sign up for the Marks & Spencer loyalty card and you will get a sweet treat or grapes free for your birthday. These are located all over the country and all over London. If you go during any holidays, it's even better.

I love the fact that this store has cashew butter in a glass jar. Amazing flavor & they get 5 out…read moreof 5 in my book just for that! I have to scour the planet for this stuff! They need to have better selection of protein bars. Decent price & helpful staff.

The new food hall should have been a great idea but sadly design and stocking faults have put me…read moreoff from my first visit. Too many stalls/food displays near the entrance meant people are pushing and shoving to get into the store itself. On a Saturday morning, a shocking amount of food in the veg section was completely empty. Staff appear so frustrated that they are literally shouting at the top of their voices to direct people around the store and to the tills. Not a nice experience. I heard a few people say they prefer shopping at Waitrose - I think I might count myself in that group too. Maybe it's just teething problems - but sadly I really didn't enjoy my shopping experience after the store has been shut for 7 months

Although small and a bit mumsey, this little branch of M&S has served me well when I venture in for…read morea few bits and pieces. As my fellow Brixtonite Glenn M has noted, it is a rather limited in some departments, specifically the clothing and my personal area of interest, ladies smalls (aka lingerie,) but, that said, it don't do too badly in it food and wine selections which almost makes up for it. One of the more dangerous items of food sold here, is the all butter apple turnover. Oh my my my! I'm sure these babies are about 1000 calories each but they are so good! Please note that I take no responsibility for those of you who go out, try them, and consequently form and addition. Not my fault!

I remember when I was at school and Kingston had undergone its transformation and the store first…read moreopened. There was a time the store would have had a 5 star rating. Now I give it a three star rating as its still better than many other places but not what it used to be due to inconsistencies. I always buy electricals from here as large domestic appliances come with an automatic two year guarantee and televisions with a five year guarantee. Due to challenging circumstances in the space of over six weeks have had to purchase a Bosch washing machine, Sony TV and Bosch dishwasher. The washing machine salesman was excellent, managed to match the Bentalls offer (the other large department store in Kingston) and all was done. The TV was a hassle because I spoke to three people and none had the authorization to take payment over the phone so I had to go into the store, wait for an available salesperson just to make payment as I knew what I wanted and then wait for ages to collect the TV. Previously could phone up, place the order and then just go to collect it as it would be ready. Most recently ordered a dishwasher, the salesman was happy to match the Bentalls offer but then he couldn't process this through the till and so he asked an older grumpy looking colleague who then asked the department manager who said no. I was disappointed because the salesman had agreed and it was only because he seemed inexperienced that he didn't know how to process the discount through the till so the transaction cost me an extra 45 pounds unnecessarily. Its only because I like the idea of the profits being shared amongst the workers of the John Lewis Partnership that I placed the order otherwise would have gone back to Bentalls. When I queried that a few weeks earlier the salesman had matched their offer he just said "you were lucky", I thought no you agreed to it too its just didn't know how to process it through the till. The delivery service is first class with all delivery drivers cheerful, polite and helpful.

Marks and sparks is still going strong with customers and this is probably due to the high quality…read moreand image they have established over the years. The food range is particularly good quality, the prices are above standard but you really do know you are eating something that has been prepared and cooked in optimum conditions. The carrot and walnut cake is my favourite. It costs justs over £2.50 for a small/medium cake which serves about 4 people but it is definatly worth every penny. Their biscuit collections are also very good and the cookies are definatly better quality than what you would get from your local supermarket. Marks and Spencers don't really have many sales but then again everyone knows the quality so will always pay the asking price all year round.

This is a comparatively small M&S compared to others, but it draws in a lot of customers so they…read moremust be doing something right. I come here primarily to shop for food which is good quality if slightly more expensive than other supermarket brands. However you get what you pay for and if their free range oakham chicken is anything to go by, I'm happy to pay slightly more for better tasting food and knowing how and where my food is being sourced. Whenever I'm in here I can never leave without buying some sort of dessert. The chocolate mousse profiterole dessert they sold at xmas was pure heavenly indulgence - my mouth waters just thinking about it! Overall I'm still glad this place is still here. You can get good quality jumpers and tops for your parents/grandparents and good quality baby clothes too.

This is rather a small branch with a frustrating lack of options…read more I know the laydees love the shoes, but to have a load of women's shoes and not a single pair of men's is a bit annoying and poorly thought out I reckon (especially when I was having a leaky shoe emergency at the time!). At least they sell socks. Got the feeling this wasn't the only stock they were lacking too.

Good ole M & S. This branch has been there forever…read more Access either from the high street or Whitgift shopping centre. Tthe usual womens, kids mens, home wear, food and a restaurant area also spread across 3 floors so actually a rather big Marks. Can get busy in here as a very British fav. shop. Assistants are generally polite and very helpful. Bra fitting = best to get an appointment though as always pretty busy especially at the weekends. Can do order and collect there to save time. Christmas eve morning opens very early but be aware regardless of how early, it will always be busy at that time.

I found this location to be very chilly. No the staff were not cold, the store itself was…read moreFREEZING!! It made shopping very difficult on the lower level. There are 3 levels I believe. Woman's clothing on the ground level, food and such on the middle level and on the top floor I couldn't tell you. The store is well organized and it's easy to find things. While shopping if you think of using the facilities, think again. There's always a crazy line up for the toilets and as always at Marks, there's always one or more toilet that's broken. The food hall is the best part of the store as far as I'm concerned. They have a huge selection of ready to eat meals, biscuits, wines and veg. I could literally spend all day up there looking at all they have to offer. Check it out!
