It might not have much choice but 1. They had what I was looking for (Reese's Peanut Butter cups if you MUST know) 2. Their security guy is one of the friendliest in London. read more

When a queue occurs it does snake around the store most inconveniently for people who want to buy booze or frozen goods. Luckily they usually seem to have a decent number of people serving.
I totally agree with jojeba on the layout. I sometimes come here to grab a quick lunch. Why have…read morethey put the sandwich section right behind a large pillar at the front of the store? A large queue builds up around this pillar every lunchtime meaning you have to push your way past people even to get into the store, then you end up tripping over a pallet as the shelves are being restocked, before you join the queue that's already looped round the far end of the store and is half way back to the front (the tills are at the front). At least the tills are well manned so the queue does move along quite quickly.

I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!
All three flavors of meat rolls. Favorite was the traditional roll and the Lamb.
Yummy
"The Good One" from Black Pig. Fabulous flavor bomb!

Staff are rude and barge pass you, and push their stock trolleys into you without no apology or acknowledgment when you point it out to them!

The selection here is limited due to the size of the store, but it certainly isn't too bad for a railway station location. I did find the store to be a little disorganised, the staff seemed friendly enough. 3* - This store isn't too bad if you're in a hurry if you're looking for more of the standard Marks and Spencer offering which may not be offered at this small concession, there are many other better stores within around half a mile away.

We hit up this market a few times for bottles of water, snacks, bakery items, and fruits to keep in our room. Nice sized grocery to be discovered after taking the escalator down from street level.

We stopped by during our first few days in London, then left the city and didn't return until the night before our flight home. After arriving by train, we rushed to our hotel, dropped our bags, and made a beeline here for one last cup of those luscious strawberries drenched in that incredible chocolate sauce. We arrived just ten minutes before closing, and thank goodness we did! We will return to London purely to get more of these berries. They are that damn good. To those about to nosh, we salute you! And are jealous!!

It was strawberries covered in chocolate which is already difficult to eat while walking around London. Second it is hard to locate and when you finally find it, you will need to move quickly throughout the line and will not be able to ask questions throughout the line. After the line you will also need to get out of the area before getting the chance to enjoy the cup of strawberries because there are no designated areas to stand in either.
Worth it to me :)
Strawberries!

I haven't been to many M&S shops, but this one seemed a little smaller than some of the other ones…read more Did it have a lot of variety? Sure it did. It had a bunch of different lunch and healthy snack options. Not to mention a ton of unhealthy options! Score! We only came here because we went to St. Paul's Catherdral for a quick visit. If you're in the area, it's a good place to grab a few things. I wouldn't necessarily come here just to come here. They do have a bunch of self-checkout stations, which was great considering we were trying to use up our "leftover" cash.

My sister and I were a little surprise about that: they are in the middle of a busnisplace, tourist-spot ( St. Paulus is nearby) and there were actually 10 different chooses (sandwiches) for vegetarians, so what kind of bread didn't they have, what the 'bigger ones' does. After all we did spare money and did it ok sandwiches, the bread was just a little to old.

I had visited several locations while in London and they are all laid out roughly the same, making it easy to find what you need. They are slightly cheaper than posh smaller markets, but it is a standard chain grocery store, so quality is a little less for meat, fruit, veggies, etc. There are quite a few around London and its outskirts, so never had an issue while visiting, which is great. All and all, I overall was quite happy with my visits.

The que is generally big, but it goes down really quickly, my only complaint, which I secretly like is, they have a good selection of chocolate by the tills. It is really hard to walk on by with out buying chocolate, they get me every time! There is also a chemist onsite. I bought Ribena and the cheeky bit of chocolate (magic stars)
