I like M&S…I mean REALLY like M&S. The food quality is always on point. In all the years I’ve shopped here I have never had a bad food product and I have been to many M&S outlets. This one in Lewisham is good, not the best and that is only for 1 minor thing. The salt caramel yoghurt. Oh no, it was not bad — in fact, it was the most brilliant yoghurt I had in years… but they stopped stocking it! What the, what??? I notice this happens from time-to-time at M&S; they get a brilliant product that flies off the shelves — okay, I probably dropped a good chunk of money stocking up on that yoghurt alone — only to discontinue it. What a shame. Other than that, this one is convenient and most welcome in the Lewisham area which is going through a regeneration of sorts along with Catford. It isn’t my local but so glad it is here; when my nearest M&S is out of something, I can hop on the DLR for this location. Friendly & helpful staff. They always seem to be tidying the place, which is a good thing. Recently added bakery with soft baked pretzels(reminiscent of Philly soft pretzels), scones and different breads. Upstairs is the home furnishings sections, although it is a bit lackluster. Downstairs is the food hall, clothing and kitchen wares. Well done Lewisham M&S

I’ve been to this store a lot since my original review and I must say it’s always a pleasure. All of the staff iI’ve encountered have been so polite, friendly & attentive particularly the ladies in the ground floor changing rooms — they’re so nice and helpful you want them to be your Mum or mate! Love!

The relatively modestly sized M&S in Lewisham is not quite like any other I’ve ever visited. Sprawling rather narrowly from the DLR side entrance of the shopping centre, out onto the high street, this one floor store manages to incorporate a little of what you fancy from most of M&S’ sizeable range. And boy does it do you good. Focussing on women rather than men, much of the front section is devoted to lingerie and nightwear. And it’s pretty comprehensive — despite the relative small size of this M&S, it’s hardly half-hearted, and a huge range of sizes is in constant stock. You’re unlikely to find much of the more premium ranges, but if your modus operandii for the day is I must find a bra in my size, then you are highly unlikely to fail. There’s a small nod towards shoes and toiletries in the middle section(if you take a size 5, forget it. Go home and order online), and towards the back of the store we have food and womenswear. The food section is often surprisingly sparse, but from the long but swift moving queues(full marks to the till staff, who manage to be chatty and interested — particularly to the elderly — but keep things moving), this could be because the shelves are voraciously denuded by shoppers rather than a lack of stock. A lot of the wearable smart casual range is shoehorned into the remainder of the store. Nothing particularly fancy, but with what small space there is, the store manager(or whoever takes the decisions on what to stock and how) has played a blinder.
