Iceland - M&S or Waitrose?

[Bob Buzzard]

Will the old Iceland site be M&S or Waitrose? I'd love it to be Waitrose because at the moment I'm travelling 2-3 times per week to go shopping in Waitrose in Beckenham as I really like the Waitrose shopping experience and the free coffees you get with their loyalty card. So it would save me a lot of travelling and cut my petrol costs down if there was a Waitrose around here.

(or 98/- in money recognised by most Waitrose customers)

It was confirmed a long time ago it's going to be a M&S Local.

Oh, ok, M&S Local - that's disappointing - so that's bascially a load of ready meals and some sandwiches and packaged sliced fruit. Oh well at least it's got more cachet than Iceland so it should help boost the profile of the area.

Because the myriad cafes, trendy bars and an independent cinema don't do that already.

Waitrose do those things too, they just charge more for them.

I think it is just up Lordship Lane up past the old Iceland on the same side of the road - though I've never been - I just go to Peckham cinema as it's so cheap.

No one seems to be in any hurry to get in there...

Building could be left empty for a while and every day it looks more tatty..

More of a eyesore than the much criticised Iceland 'eyesore'

Careful what you wish for.

The plans have changed. Its going to be an M&S food hall which is slight larger with a bigger offering than an M&S local (aka Simply Food).

Now - a food hall - that's more like it. Simpy Food is like one of those motorway M&S outlets.

I work for M&S

By the Way M&S Food Hall is still a M&S food because it will say M&S simply food, East Dulwich when looking at the address. . . .

all M&S food hall is the same as M&S Simply Food unless they sell pots and pans, cloths & other stuff.

The may say M&S food hall but it's Still M&S simply food. . .

the beckenham store says food hall but the address say's

I feel much more reassured now that M&S is certainly still coming to town
