M&S Opens At The Elephant

From excavation to opening day: M&S opens at The Elephant

12 November, 2026
Marks and Spencer has opened its fabulous new 13,500 sq ft store at Get Living's £500m The Elephant development in the heart of Elephant & Castle - following a deal secured by FMX's Henry Foreman.

Henry has truly seen this project through every milestone moment, including several years of monthly check-ins long before Get Living were ready to engage on the commercial lettings (sorry!), and visiting the site back in 2023 when basement levels 7 and 8 were still being excavated. Fast forward to today, and he was there for the wider scheme’s launch breakfast and crucially as the doors were opened on M&S’s store, to see the high street giant welcoming its first shoppers.

Congratulations to the M&S team on the addition of yet another fantastic store to the London portfolio, and to Get Living and all those involved in bringing this incredible development to life. The Elephant has truly transformed this key south London neighbourhood, building on the surrounding regeneration and further strengthening Elephant & Castle as a destination to live, work and shop. It's a brilliant project to have been a small part of and we can’t wait to see how it evolves and is engaged with.

And now, onto the next! We’re still busy sourcing new Food Halls for M&S within the M25, so if you know of the perfect next location, get in touch with our team Henry Foreman, David Justice, and Howard Quigley.
