M&S made a valiant effort to attract people to visit it, with staff

Presumably it wasn't enough. (The only reason I went there was to
avoid the queues in the much-busier M&S Simply Food in the "arcade").

I remember some publicity before the opening which suggested that
there's be an M & S within St Pancras with a reasonable range of both
food and clothing. So I was surprised , on my one visit there, to
find most of the space given over to food and only a very limited
range of clothing. And in the absence of other shops open in the area
it wasn't going to attract much passing trade; I went in partly out of
curiosity, partly because I was changing between Thameslink amd the
suburban platforms at Kings Cross.
