Please Note: Just because a shop has applied for, and been granted, a 24 hour alcohol licence, doesn't necessarily mean that it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some shops have decided not to open all night, even though they are licensed to sell alcohol 24 hours. It's also worth noting that on Sundays, large supermarkets over 3000 sq ft (Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, Iceland etc.) are only permitted to open for a maximum of six hours due to Sunday trading laws in England and Wales, therefore large 24 hour supermarkets can only open all-night on week nights including Friday nights - so don't get caught out on a Saturday night! Where possible, we've listed opening times of stores but these should only be used as a guide, as trading hours of individual shops may change from time to time, especially on Bank Holidays, Christmas, New Year and Easter. We've tried to include the phone number for each 24 hour off licence so you can confirm opening times before setting off on your quest for 24 hour booze. If you're planning to visit a 24 hour supermarket operated by one of the large supermarket chains, you may prefer to use their store locator to check opening times. Every effort has been made to ensure the information published on this website is correct but 24 Hour Alcohol assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions. Please let us know if you do spot any errors, either by using the contact form, the inbuilt error reporting facility or by calling us on 020 8144 2424 and leaving a voicemail. If there isn't a shop open around-the-clock near you, it may still be possible to almost instantly get alcohol after hours from a local on-demand delivery service.
