It is their flagship store. FABULOUS under ware selections! Plus you can claim your VAT back in the store (3rd floor if I remember correctly), no passport required, just proof of ID - cash back. Very convenient! No VAT back on kids clothes. More

My review has been rejected by Marks & Spencer!!! I have bought this Luxury Pure Cotton Velour Stripe Dressing Gown for £49.50. I’m very disappointed with the quality of this my purchase. Stitches are unravelled and after three washings it continues moulting, leaving sofas, room, computer, tables, bedclothes, my hands and body covered in black tufts. I couldn’t imagine that... More

Visiting M&S in the middle of January I expected to see something still on sale. All the goods were new and prices were very high. 30 pounds for a shirt? Have they gone nuts? Even with a VAT refund this is incredible for a chain that used to (30 years ago) sell good merchandise for a reasonable price. More

Marks & Spencer is admittedly one of our favorite spots to grab a quick meal in London. Even though it is a chain department store, they have the best salads, treats and drinks. We came home wishing we had something like it in the States! It is a great option while traveling if you want something quick and healthy and... More

A great store (part of a chain) where the American dollar can be 'stretched! They have everything from foods, clothing,-something for everyone! Need to take home to the states a few souvenirs or food products? Here, you'll find a great selection at the right price! Employees also very helpful. More
