Marks & Spencer

Marks and Spencer (M&S) is practically an institution in Britain. The appeal of the chain lies in its conservative approach combined with quality and value, although recently the chain has had difficulty keeping its core customers happy and clothes sales have slumped. This is a large store, with an excellent food hall and wine shop downstairs, and has tried hard in recent times to update its image. The 'autograph' range of designer clothing on the first floor is testament to this.
