You might have heard rumours about a “late-night M&S” in Brent Cross. Let me burst that bubble gently: it doesn’t exist. The shopping centre itself closes around 8:00 PM most weeknights, so don’t get your hopes up for a midnight Percy Pig run. Unless you find a secret tunnel (and if you do, please tell me), you’re stuck with daytime hours.
But here’s a silver lining: the M&S Foodhall inside the store usually keeps the same hours as the main shop. So if you’re craving a Dine In for Two deal after work, you’ve got until 8:00 PM. Just don’t dawdle—traffic in Brent Cross car park is a whole other saga. You’ve been warned.

What About Click & Collect? Because We All Love a Good Hack
Ah, Click & Collect—the lazy shopper’s best friend. You can order online and pick it up during the same opening hours. But here’s a sneaky trick: if you collect after 4:00 PM, the store is usually less chaotic. The morning rush (mums with prams, pensioners with trolleys) dies down, and you can breeze in like a VIP. Just remember to bring your order number, or you’ll be that person fumbling with their phone. Don’t be that person.
Also, if you’re doing a big grocery shop, try to go on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Weekends are a zoo, honestly. You’ll spend more time queueing for the checkout than actually shopping. And nobody wants to test their patience like that. It’s M&S, not a survival course.
