Waterloo Road will soon boast three convenience shops in a row when M&S Simply Food and Tesco Express open next door to Sainsbury's Local.
We reported in May on Tesco's intention to open a store in the former Bangalore Express restaurant opposite Waterloo Station.
Now there are plans for an M&S Simply Food store just two doors away in the former Evans Cycles shop.
The proposed M&S Simply Food store is likely to be a partial replacement for the shop on Waterloo Station's concourse which shut down earlier this month for major building works.
The M&S licence application has been submitted by Select Service Partner, the company that runs catering outlets on mainline stations.
