Louisa Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Well sort of.. I have been in and out of Kings College Hospital the past few weeks and there are signs everywhere saying that a new M&S simply food shop will be opening inside the hospital on March 17th. No fuss, unlike the song and dance caused in ED when Iceland was exterminated. Louisa.

Louisa Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Absolutely NOT. I was unhappy at the loss of a a lordship lane institution yes, but the million page thread involved councillors and other stakeholders and was drawn out for at least 4 years. It got to the stage of even people like me saying get on with it then if you're gonna do it. Camberwell doesn't kick up such a fuss, around here it was like the bloody second coming!Louisa.

peckham_ryu Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 If the tiddly one in St Thomas' is anything to go by, it's sensible of them not to make a fuss. That one is ok for picking up a sandwich or ready meal if you happen to be on site, but it can't cater for any volume of people expecting to do worthwhile food shopping. That one on Lordship Laneis pretty good though. I love the candy at the checkout. Yum.

Earl Aelfheah Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 There is a difference between their 'foodhall' (which is effectively a supermarket) and their 'simply food' establishments (which is effectively a sandwich shop). The latter makes perfect sense in a hospital where people need to grab something to eat / drink.

JohnL Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 When I was in Kings for a few weeks it was nice to walk (with drip behind) to the little shop to buy something.Now there might be two :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/144039-camberwell-getting-ms-simply-food/#findComment-1109591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

malumbu Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Have I dreamt this or has someone really put this thread up. Society is falling apart, we are on the brink of economic collapse, we will be caught in a battle between the axis (US and Russia) and China) but it's all OK as there is a M&S in Camberwell. Rejoice.

Louisa Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Oh for goodness sakes malumbu don't get your nickers in a twist, the world is still turning and ED has survived without an Iceland for a good few months now. Life goes on regardless of a potential nuclear holocaust on the horizon. Or maybe we should dwell on the end of the world coming? What a cheerful old bunch we are on this forum. Louisa.

red devil Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 malumbu, you need to learn to put a positive spin on things, I'm starting to hear a dreary Brummie accent when I read your posts these days. Here's a starter, let's say there were to be an end to the world, most of us would be straight down to M&S to stock up, so the more M&S's the better!...

TheCat Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 M&S at King College Hospital have advised customers to see their local off-licence for minor shops, and to only visit Kings College M&S for major shops, where you will be served within 4 hours. As always, If it is a real emergency shop, please dial Ocado.
