Are shops in London open during Easter?

Posted on by worldcityguides

Easter in LondonI am coming to London for Easter and I therefore wonder if shops will be open on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday? And what about Easter Sunday and Monday?

Answer: Thank you for the question! Luckily shops in London are open on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday, though some shops might close a bit earlier than normal on the Saturday. Larger shops are all closed on the Sunday and also on Monday. Smaller shops and restaurants will remain open on Sunday and Monday, but in general for the big shoppers, Sunday and Monday should be used for other activities than shopping!

Hope this was a good enough answer for you. If you have further questions or comments, just write a comment!
