This M&S Food Hall location was conveniently located 2 blocks from our hotel. We would stop by on the way back to the hotel to pick up some snacks and light grab & go type meals.
They have a huge selection of "grab & go" sandwiches and salads. My favorite is their Tuna Nicoise Salad; I picked that up on 3 different days because I loved it that much! My other favorite is their bakery dept. Their Triple Chocolate Cookies exceed expectations for a supermarket bakery item. We actually went back another day to pick up a 2nd package.
We loved their Strawberry & Raspberry cereal, which was sort of like Special K cereal but much much better. We bought 2 boxes of this.
M&S was also our source for apples, bananas and grapes. They also sell other precut melon, pineapple, etc.
The store sells most other supermarket stuff. It's a place for locals to quickly grab groceries before heading home. They have meats, vegetables, frozen foods, pasta, sodas, wine, tea, coffee, candy, etc.
There are no cashiers at this store. It's all self-check out.
We discovered they have a different system for buying weighed items. Some of the self-check out kiosks have a connected scale. When using a self-check out kiosk without a scale, you need to go to a separate scale near the check out area to weigh your stuff, and then it prints out a barcode sticker which you scan at the check out kiosk.
Marks & Spencer is all over London, we would always pass by one when we were out and about sightseeing. There are 2 small ones at the Waterloo Railway station near our hotel.
I'm a big fan of M&S. I love how they are open until 10pm, which made it easy to stop by when we returned to the hotel later after a long day of sightseeing. I also picked up a reusable canvas M&S tote bag & a reusable mini insulated bag as souvenirs. read more
