Marks And Spencers - Southampton

My favourite place for eating and clothes shopping. very friendly service and beautiful environment.

This is a large clean, clear store that feels so relaxing to shop in. I was amazed how tidy the shoe area was, in other stores the shoes are scattered around by customers and not replaced by the staff not here. Plenty of space to sit and try on and clearly defined style areas. We also visited business wear and found a good selection of skirts, blouses, trousers, and jackets. Unfortunately the person we were shopping for couldn't find any business trousers that fitted her shape well so we abandoned them but we did get a couple of skirts and blouses which were perfect. The store has wide Isles with no stock trolleys blocking them, no inane music so we could talk and think and general air of capability. This is what a good shop looks like, staff if you need them but not in your face if you don't. Good range of stock that is kept tidy so it doesn't look like a jumble sale. All in all a pleasure. Just to be clear I am in my early 50's and the other person mid 20's and we both found things we wanted, although we only purchased for her. So no longer a shop for the older generation.

I had a great experience with a very helpful staff member from the laundry department today. They were excellent and very responsive. I would definitely recommend this place!

I had a fantastic lunch! My mom and I shared a wonderful sandwich, and then we each enjoyed a delicious cream tea. The service was impeccable, and while it wasn't cheap, it was worth every penny!
