Here’s the pro tip: the bakery section opens at the same time as the store, but the freshly baked baguettes don’t hit the shelf until 9:30 AM. Arrive earlier for a croissant, or later for a war zone. And if you see a queue forming at the tills fifteen minutes before closing, just walk away. That queue is a black hole of hope.
So, in summary: M&S Purley Way is open Monday to Saturday: 8 AM to 8 PM, Sunday: 11 AM to 5 PM. Now go forth, rain or shine, and buy four packs of those shortbread biscuits you pretend are for guests. We all know they’re for you. Don’t forget: the proper opening times are your shield against disappointment. And never, ever challenge a staff member at 7:59 PM. They’ve already won.
