If you ask us, the bigger the bargain, the better. Whether you’re scrimping on subscriptions or cutting down on takeaways, most of us are on a mission to save money wherever we can – and enjoy as much of London as we can for as little money as poss.
And all that explains why budget supermarkets are having such a moment. In this year’s People’s Choice Awards, budget wine grocer Booth’s was voted the country’s favourite place to buy a bottle and Aldi ranked highly in Which?’s study to find the UK’s favourite supermarket. Now, there’s even more good news for London bargain lovers: listen up.
As part of huge expansion plans throughout the UK, Lidl has revealed it wants to build nearly 250 new supermarkets in London. As it stands, the chain has around 100 stores in the capital.
Areas such as Camden, Notting Hill and Shoreditch are among the areas named on the store’s new London location wish list. Here is the full list of places in the capital that Lidl wants to open new supermarkets.
