Overview
- Aldi, which detailed the plan on Monday, will open eight sites in 2026 across Hanworth, Willesden, Watford, Marble Arch, Hoxton, Orpington West, Epsom and Stepney Green.
- The grocer says the openings will create about 200 jobs across the capital.
- Existing branches in Enfield and Kilburn are set for refurbishment in 2026.
- The London push forms part of a wider UK programme to spend about £370 million on roughly 40 new stores this year as Aldi works toward about 1,500 locations.
- Coverage differs on the count for London itself, with one local outlet listing six city stores and treating Watford and Epsom as nearby additions outside the capital.
