Sunday is the weird one. Marks & Spencers on Oxford Street doesn’t open until 11:30 AM. Why? Blame the old trading laws. It’s a quirky leftover from when Sunday was for church, not shopping.
They close early too. Sharp at 6:00 PM. You get a six-hour window. It’s like a limited-edition drop. Make it count.
Pro tip: Arrive at 11:25 AM. Look through the glass. Watch the staff do the final counts. It’s oddly satisfying. Like watching ants clean a crumb.

Bank Holiday Weirdness
Bank holidays are a wildcard. M&S loves to change them up. Sometimes it’s a regular Sunday timetable. Sometimes it’s a full Monday hour set.
Check online before you go. Don’t be that person. The one who walks up to the door at 9 AM on Easter Monday and does a sad little jig. I’ve seen it. I’ve been that person.
They also close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Obvious, right? But people still try. There’s always a lost tourist who thinks it’s open for a mince pie.
