We've taken to going to city centre M&S cafes for great coffees and cake rather than the Starbucks…read moreand Costas on our month long tour of England. M&S provides comfort, complimentary iced water (Starbucks take note) fast free WiFi and clean toilets so it's all good. It's buy 6 get one free if you use their app. I mean there's no downsides and M&S pay tax and are a decent company that we trust. Our tour is going well with the only downside being the weather is lousy.

This is a nice Marks and Spencer location, it is located on Bridge Street and is one of the larger…read morestores in the historic town centre, despite being in a fairly attractive and old building, they have done their best to make their store look fairly presentable, modern and similar to any other Marks and Spencer store inside. The store was reasonably stocked, and although I couldn't find my usual brand of milk, I was able to find a reasonable alternative, while also being impressed with the gluten-free sections, including items they had reduced due to nearing their expiration date. The checkout process was simple using the Marks and Spencer app, which allows you to scan items as you walk around the store, pay on your phone and leave. The store was easy to follow and find what I was looking for, without the assistance of a staff member. I would prefer this store be open slightly longer in the day, I find their 6:30 pm closing time to be too early for my liking, but sadly this is in line with other shops nearby and they must have decided to follow suit. 4* - A nice Marks and Spencer location overall, while I do prefer the visual appearance and actual selection and unique offerings of their newer and refurbished Food Halls, this is a nice location nonetheless.

This could be a really tranquil, enjoyable respite for the shoppers of Redditch; It has a relaxing…read morefountain and walkway full of well kept flowers and garden. There are also some great market stalls, which are set up nearly everyday to sell local and organic produce. But unfortunately, it seems that some of the locals don't appreciate the area, and many would rather sit there drinking out of bottles of stella and white lightening. It's quite a shame really, because I'm sure there's many other people who would enjoy this spacious area. There isn't really much else in in the town centre; most shops have shut down, and the town is very depressing and dull to look at. Mercian Square should also be respected much more for a different reason; since the square has seen tributes being paid to the Mercian regiment by fellow soldiers. Prior to this, the square was just called Market Place.
