Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Marks and spencer cheap outlet store in Wood Green top floor ...
Has been closed. You've got to go to wembly now if you want a M & S discount store. Looks like they're just letting the top floor rot, it's baracaded off like a zombie movie.

I don't know about men's shirts but the women's clothes in there are horrendous! There and the Holloway one. I liked Pearsons on the basis that you could buy nice stuff in there. Like a work suit from Principles, or a nice pair of shoes or bedding. Never found the staff to be a problem. I'm not talking about luxury items here just the basics. Maybe it's just me, I'm a buy less spend more on things I really want/need kind of person, and Wood Green caters for the pile it high sell it cheap/wear it less, replace it often kind of shopping ethos, so I do tend to go elsewhere, which is a shame. It's not just M&S though, all the chain stores there seem to be down-graded versions of what you see on other highstreets (Wallis, for example). I just think it would be nice to have a good mix for everyone because there are plenty bargain basement places. Having said that I did used to love Benny Dee's when I was a student, where you could get a whole outfit for a tenner including shoes!
Not being a snob here, just think it could be nicer, the last thing we need is for it to be like Upper Street, but I don't think there's any danger of that happening any time soon :)

Absolutely agree with Lauren :-) WG M and S. Especially the sale shop is a s**t oyle suffering from an identity crisis. Like Matalan, DP and Wallis it's the land that time forgot.

Good for you going elsewhere. That's the spirit. Spend your money outside of your community. Brilliant.

Yeah, it would be great to be able to buy the things I want in wood green.

It does seem like a huge waste to just leave it unoccupied and I agree that if they made it as good as some of their other stores it would draw more people in. I wasn't particularly fond of the outlet element when they bought it in and I found the store less useful than it had previously been as they had a lot less new product lines. But I did like the cafe, it always seemed busy, can't imagine that was losing them too much money. BHS got rid of their upper floor (cafe and hairdressers) a few years ago and now they just use it as storage so maybe M&S will do the same?

I don't understand what was so bad about it: it always seemed quite busy. I would rather shop there than in Tk Max, Primark or Matalan with their carelessly-discarded clothes trailing on the floor. The only problem was, being an outlet store, it was difficult to find the average-sized garments that fit me

I am in total agreement here. Their bath towels were of a far higher quality than that of Pearsons, which simply reeked of old crazy cat lady stuff. It's so yesterday, and that's why it closed down. The concessions were rubbish, and generally just a very outdated store.
There's nothing wrong with WG high street and the shops it offers. It would otherwise not be as busy and popular as it. Bring back m&s outlet!

Just got a message from moderators saying I made an uncivil comment! I don't know what that was, we were talking about a shop weren't we? Please can you let me know what my uncivil comment was? I don't think it's right that you tell people they are being uncivil without saying what it was, because there really wasn't anything I said that was uncivil!
Don't you think that Jelly Jam's post telling me to get out of the borough I've lived in for 18 years because I said I didn't like Marks and Spencers in Wood Green and that the whole highstreet needs an overhaul was uncivil?
I absolutely haven't said anything uncivil here so maybe you got me mixed up with someone else, I would like to know please!!!
Can you also take down the comment you made calling me uncivil because I think that's rather uncivil.

Also Jelly Jam making irrelevant "crazy old cat lady" comment because in my other post I have tried to help a local cat is uncivil. I'm not old.
They are the ones making uncivil comments. Not I. I'm just talking about my local marks and Spencer's shop and highstreet.

So somebody is allowed to tell me to leave my home because I expressed an opinion that differed from theirs, but I'm not allowed to say that making that comment makes them look foolish?!!!!
I am called uncivil for rebuffing a nasty threatening remark?!

Visit WG M+S today. Looks very sad.
Just one staff member on sales desk. When I asked what had happened to cafe and Outlet floor was told it is permanently closed. Seems odd when the Outlet section was always busier than the ground floor and the cafe always full with a queue. Should have become Outlet only with cafe. Very few people in the store. No signs explaining anything to customers. Expect better of M+S. Seems like a poor business decision to me

Sad to hear you didn't have a good time of it in there, Lauren.
I always used to go there before I went elsewhere, and was almost always able to buy what I want, at a good price.
