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.
