Questions people ask
Which corner shops in Tower Hamlets are open late?
Of the 37 corner shops across Tower Hamlets whose hours we know, 35 stay open until 10pm or later on most days and 3 are open 24 hours. Open latest today: Budgens, All Seasons Food & Wine and Co-op Food.
Can corner shops open all day on Sunday?
Yes. In England and Wales the Sunday limits only apply to shops bigger than 280 square metres (about 3,000 square feet), so nearly every corner shop can open whatever hours it likes. Of the 37 across Tower Hamlets whose hours we know, 37 open on Sundays.
Why do shops have food hygiene ratings?
Any shop that sells food is registered with the council and can be inspected, the same as a café or takeaway. Shops selling only low-risk packaged food may be marked “exempt” instead of rated. 78 of the corner shops across Tower Hamlets have a rating, 92% of them 4 or 5.
How up to date are the opening hours?
They come from OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps and owners who have updated their own listing. Bank holiday hours aren’t shown, and shops do change their hours, so ring ahead if it matters.
