London is a 24-Hour city. Well, a bit. This category collects the shops which live up to that dream.

Worth noting is that a lot of petrol stations are 24-hour, and if these have a little shop (often a tiny Sainsbury's or Tesco) attatched, this will often be open 24 hours as well; even if you can't go in, the cashiers can fetch stuff (or tell a security guard to get it) for you.

Some 24-hour branches of Sainsbury's (mostly from north London):

  • Holloway Beach (104 - 106 Holloway Road; N7 8JE) - petrol station
  • Hornsey Rise (89 Hornsey Rise; N19 3SH)
  • Harringay (Williamson Road, Green Lanes; N4 1UL) - a reasonably big one
  • Islington (31-41 Liverpool Road; N1 0RW) - not 24 hour every day, but has the 'normal' pattern of closing at 2200 on saturday, having normal short hours on sunday, and opening at 0700 on monday
  • Clapton (144-150 Upper Clapton Road; E5 9JZ) - petrol station
  • Muswell Hill (Colney Hatch Lane, Pages Lane; N10 1QB) - not actually clear if this is 24-hour or not
  • Dog Kennel Hill (SE22 8AA) - open 24-hours Monday to Friday, but it closes at 10pm on Saturdays and 5pm on Sundays
  • Cromwell Road (158A Cromwell Road. Kensington; SW7 4EJ) - does the normal weekend thing

Hard to believe there isn't a 24-hour branch anywhere remotely central, but it seems to be true.

The Camden branch is open until midnight, which is something.

Tesco's store locator claims that it'll tell you if a store is 24 hours, but it doesn't. However, Tesco, E9 6ND is.
