In January, I was horrified to discover at the end of a bra fitting that John Lewis now have unisex changing rooms.

I complained at the time. They took a month to reply to my complaint, and even then JLs response didn't address what I'd raised.

I escalated my complaint mid March. Still no response as of today.

Any suggestions as to what to do next?

I'm thinking a daily X/insta reminder that they haven't replied? However, when I did that for the initial complaint, I was ignored or had a "we've passed your concerns onto the store involved".

The only other think I could think of was an actual letter sent via recorded delivery.

What would you do? This has bothered me too much to let it drop.

Who did you address your initial complaint to? And when you escalated it, then to whom?

The generic complaints webform.

As was the escalation - there's an option to say "not happy with your reply? Escalate it here."

At the time, the response seemed human, but on reflection the deflection on actually addressing my concerns could easily have been AI.

No, but any good business would reply - even with something automated. And a really good business (which John Lewis always supposed to be) would care about what its customers think.

There’s no obligation to respond to complaints.

Don’t worry - the last couple of times I’ve been in JL (different towns) they’ve been dead. Only the dumb dog walkers letting their dogs snuffle in all the clothes. They’ll go out of business soon.

Unfortunately OP I don't think they are under any legal or moral obligation to respond to you.

Are they floor to ceiling/locking separated rooms?

Nice attempt at a derail. The OP asked for help getting JL to pay attention to her concerns, not a discussion on what counts as acceptable unisex changing space.
