Once the bastion of British shopping, Marks & Spencer has had to revive its appeal on the high street. Along with three floors of textiles, luggage, horticulture, make-up and food, this store has a new coffee bar offering morning coffee and afternoon tea. Although Marks & Spencer have been updating their clothes collections, luring famous designers in the process, they have never lost sight of what built their reputation in the first place - good quality at reasonable prices. Their lingerie remains a must-have. Rare is the person who doesn't own at least one article of M&S underwear. Review © 2007, Wcities |
