Aldi has announced plans to to open eight new locations in 2026, creating hundreds of jobs in the local areas.

Full list of new stores are planned:

  • Hanworth (Twickenham Road)

Existing Aldi stores in Enfield and Kilburn will also undergo refurbishments in 2026.

Last year, the UK’s biggest discounter opened new stores inside the M25, including Wimbledon, Fulham Broadway, Shoreditch, Caterham, Uxbridge, Old Kent Road and Kentish Town, alongside an extension in Colindale, helping bring its award-winning products and low prices to even more Londoners.

Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We know household budgets are still under pressure, and too many Londoners don’t have an Aldi within easy reach.

“These new stores will bring our unbeatable value to more families while creating around 200 new jobs across the capital.”
