M&S Simply Food

This place is like a Whole Foods but better (similar dollar to pound conversation = which translates to Americans as a little pricey but not insanely so).
Many locations throughout the city offer fresh organic salads, wraps, fruits, sandwiches etc. Excellent place to get healthy, grab-​and-​go grub as opposed to KFC or McDonald’s. They also have a great, reasonably-​priced selection of wine.
I was a huge fan after going to multiple locations in London.
I only deduct a star because as I was making my 3^rd consecutive purchase at the Victoria Station location, the cashier asked me if I wanted a plastic bag for my 5 – 6 items. I said yes. She shook her head in disgust. To fuck with her, I added «double bag it».
Her ghastly reaction was the equivalent as if my hobby were tossing Styrofoam Coolers into ravines of protected wet lands harboring endangered animals.
Miss M&S Victoria Station employee, move out of the city where you’re off-​the-​grid and grow/​raise your own food… only then I will take your feigned, pompous, disgust seriously.

I enjoyed my M&S experience. We got the £10 Meal for Two which included an main item, a side, bottle of wine and dessert! We chose chicken with mozzarela and basil which was much better than I expected, potatoes with butter, garlic and rosemary.
I definitely would try this meal option again as it was so cheap! I wasn’t impressed enough to puchase extremely often.
But, I will say M&S is a great larger grocer option in the area. The staff is extremely helpful and very courteous! I would shop here regularly for my groceries!

Ein unglaubliches Konzept von Marks & Spencer, direkt in der Underground.
Man findet dort in riesigen Regalen, frisches, verpacktes Essen, welches man sich zuhause nur noch warm machen muss.
Für jeden Geschmack ist etwas dabei, inkl. Obst und Dessert.
Alles sieht frisch und lecker aus und der Preis ist absolut okay.
Würde es so etwas bei uns geben, ich wäre dort sehr häufig.

I walked out of the train station and made my pick here @ Simply Food. Sure, there are a lot of different places to eat inside (most of which are «fast», and by fast, I mean fried or unhealthy in some way), but I wanted to make it to my hostel already so I went in and grabbed a roast beef sandwich, some salt and vinegar chips, pom and red current gums, and water. It made for a fine meal on the go.
Likes:
Location. these stores are everywhere! (so much better than 7 – 11’s!)
The foods sold here seem to be healthful: plenty of fruit, «organic» items, and readily prepared meals (salads, microwave or stir fry), not to mention sandwiches, all in packages.
They also sell fresh flowers, journals/​papers, reusable sacs, wines.
Ambiance: It was clean; like the color scheme and the woodsy floors.
Gripes:
Prices. Slightly expensive? Maybe I’m just saying this because I’m used to paying dollars and our economy sucks.
Other than that, I heart this market.
