M&S have earmarked locations like Surrey Quays, Camberwell, Dulwich, and Herne Hill on its “wish list” for Food store sites.
The retailer is searching for sites with over 18,000 sq ft in an attempt to double the size of its food business in London.
Possible in Southwark include Surrey Quays / Canada Water, Camberwell, Dulwich, Dulwich Village, and Herne Hill.
A major opportunity appears to be in Canada Water, an area undergoing extensive redevelopment as part of British Land’s Canada Water Masterplan.

The shopping centre has been earmarked for demolition with the intention of creating 1 million sqt ft of new shops, restaurants and cultural destinations.
A new Tesco has already been approved on the site to replace the existing one in Surrey Quays shopping centre.
There are also areas across south east and south west London on the list, such as Blackheath, Forest Hill, Greenwich, Balham and Wandsworth.
M&S says they want double the size of its food business with car parks, bigger shopping trolleys and wider aisles.
This announcement follows last week’s opening on a new Food Hall by Clapham Common.
