ALDI PREPARES TO OPEN FOUR NEW LONDON STORES BY THE END OF 2024

31 July, 2024

Aldi is set to open four new stores in the capital between now and the end of the year as it looks to deliver on its promise to bring lower food prices to even more Londoners.

New stores in Leytonstone and Beckton are set to open in the next couple of months, while Holloway Road and Muswell Hill are also gearing up to welcome new Aldi stores.

The openings will see the UK’s fourth largest supermarket create more than 150 new jobs in the capital before the end of the year, with even more stores set to open in London during 2025.

Aldi has been confirmed by Which? as the UK’s cheapest supermarket every single month this year and has a long-term ambition to open another 100 stores in London, creating around 3,500 new jobs.

Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “There are still thousands of shoppers in the capital that don’t yet have access to an Aldi nearby and, as a result, too many people have to make do with big prices at the big supermarkets.

“That’s why, while we’re looking to open new stores across the country, London will be a particular focus for us over the coming years.”

The openings form part of Aldi’s long-term target of 1,500 stores in the UK – with the supermarket set to invest £550 million in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.

6 May, 2026

Parents feel most lonely five months after having a baby – when the reality of having a newborn kicked in and friends and family were less available.  

A poll of 1,000 parents with a child aged under five found more than half (55 per cent) have experienced loneliness since having their baby. 

Despite the first few months being filled with excitement (56 per cent), visits from family and friends (48 per cent) and adrenaline (37 per cent), that sense of support didn’t always last.

ALDI ACCELERATES LONDON EXPANSION WITH £40M INVESTMENT IN EIGHT NEW STORES

20 April, 2026

Aldi is expanding in London with eight new stores this year, bringing hundreds of new jobs and more affordable food options to communities lacking discount retailers.

The £40m expansion targets areas in the capital and Greater London, where many communities still rely on higher-priced convenience stores or traditional full-price supermarkets for their weekly shop.

New stores are planned for Hanworth (Twickenham Road), Willesden (High Road), Watford, Marble Arch, Hoxton, Orpington West, Epsom and Stepney Green. Existing Aldi stores in Enfield and Kilburn will also undergo refurbishments in 2026.

Last year, the UK’s biggest discounter opened new stores inside the M25, including Wimbledon, Fulham Broadway, Shoreditch, Caterham, Uxbridge, Old Kent Road and Kentish Town, alongside an extension in Colindale, helping bring its award-winning products and low prices to even more Londoners.

Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We know household budgets are still under pressure, and too many Londoners don’t have an Aldi within easy reach. These new stores will bring our unbeatable value to more families while creating around 200 new jobs across the capital.”

The expansion forms part of Aldi’s wider investment in Britain, with the supermarket set to invest over £370 million in opening new stores across the country this year.

Aldi was named the UK’s cheapest supermarket by consumer champion Which? for the fifth consecutive year. In the monthly Which? analysis of 89 popular branded and own-brand products, Aldi also started the year strongly, being named Which? Cheapest Supermarket for January, February and March 2026.
