Marks and Spencer (M&S) has opened two new London supermarkets as part of a wider expansion programme across the capital. The retailer launched a new 8,900-square-foot food hall in Tooting Broadway on May 27 before opening a second location on Tottenham Court Road on Tuesday. The openings form part of a broader plan to introduce 10 new and improved London stores during 2026 alongside major refurbishments at six existing branches. M&S has continued to expand its presence across the capital following plans announced last year to open 200 new stores. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The new Tooting Broadway food hall is located on Mitcham Road and marks the retailer’s return to the area after an absence of 18 years. Meanwhile, the new Tottenham Court Road branch has relocated from number 55 to 15-17 Tottenham Court Road, placing it closer to the Tube station. The retailer said the new central London location is 45 per cent larger than the previous store. The branch also includes an in-store bakery and coffee counter as part of the upgraded shopping experience. Both new locations operate as food halls and form part of M&S’s growing convenience grocery network across London. Two further London stores are expected to open later this year. A new branch at Bell Green Retail Park in Sydenham is scheduled to open in September, while a store at The Elephant Development in Elephant and Castle is expected to launch during autumn or winter. Alongside the expansion programme, M&S is also carrying out major refurbishments at six existing London stores.

"Our pipeline of stores demonstrates our continued investment in London, and we will continue to bring the very best of M&S to customers from Brixton to Barnet for years to come." An M&S spokesman said the retailer was "continuing to invest heavily" in its store estate, with 15 new locations already opened across the UK this year. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
