Marks & Spencer is one of Britain's oldest clothing brands. It now sells clothing, housewares and GOOD food. I recommend you shop here for food to eat right away or for taking home to cook and there is a good selection of pre-prepared fresh meals you just pop in the oven to cook. A large branch is a few minutes walk from the house along Edgware Road and right across from the Hilton Metropole. The biggest branch is in Oxford Street. Keep walking along the Edgware Road until you get to Marble Arch on Oxford St and the branch is just there.
