You could try this:

space = " "
print "John and{}Mark went to{}London".format(space*5,space*3)

Here you can find more information

is there anyway to use for example \s{5} ?

Am I understood corectly:

space = " "
print "John and %s Mark went to %s London" % (space*5,space*3)

If you want the numbers of spaces in the template string instead of the arguments to format:

>>> "John and{0:5s}Mark went to{0:3s}London".format("")
'John and     Mark went to   London'
