The High Road shop runs 08:00 to 22:00 on all seven days; Ilford Lane matches it Monday to Saturday and opens half an hour later on a Sunday, at 08:30. The High Road stretch is crowded with rivals — a William Hill at 177, a Coral at 186–190 and a Paddy Power at 107 — and the Coral on Chapel Road opens at 07:30. Distances are straight-line estimates from the station. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Ilford Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for all six branches in one table, town-centre shops first. Today’s column is highlighted.
Every Ilford branch closes at 22:00 Monday to Saturday, so the differences are all at the start of the day and on Sunday evening. High Road and Barkingside keep 08:00 to 22:00 on all seven days. Seven Kings High Road opens earlier on a Saturday (07:30) than midweek (08:00). Green Lane and Goodmayes open at 08:30 through the week and 09:00 on a Sunday, and Goodmayes is the only shop to close before 22:00 on any day — at 21:00 on a Sunday.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Ilford
Full weekly times are published for all six branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
High Road, Ilford Lane, Seven Kings High Road and Barkingside open at 08:00 on weekdays; Green Lane and Goodmayes at 08:30. On a Saturday the Seven Kings High Road shop opens at 07:30, the earliest Betfred opening in Ilford on any day. On a Sunday, High Road and Barkingside open at 08:00, Ilford Lane and Seven Kings High Road at 08:30, and Green Lane and Goodmayes at 09:00.
Open latest
All six close at 22:00 Monday to Saturday. On a Sunday five still close at 22:00, and Goodmayes Lane closes at 21:00. That makes Ilford one of the latest-trading Betfred areas on this site.
The early Saturday option: 695a High Road in Seven Kings opens at 07:30 on a Saturday — half an hour earlier than its weekday opening and the earliest Betfred start in Ilford — and stays open until 22:00.
Betfred Ilford Sunday opening times
Sunday in Ilford: five of the six shops still close at 22:00, and two open at 08:00.

Betfred Ilford bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England can trade on every bank holiday bar one. Premises licences issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carry a condition that gambling facilities cannot be provided on Christmas Day, so all six Ilford branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Ilford branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would cut two hours off all six Ilford branches, so check the window card the week before. Dates in the tables below update automatically.
Easter opening times
Betting shops have been allowed to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain. Across the Easter weekend, expect each Ilford branch to follow its usual pattern for that day.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal weekday times |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal Saturday times |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | Normal Sunday times |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
May and August bank holidays
The early May, spring and summer bank holidays all fall on a Monday. Check the window card or the Betfred shop finder the week before; a 20:00 bank holiday close would take two hours off every Ilford branch.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
Christmas and New Year opening times
The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Ilford times move far from the weekly pattern. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally finish early, Boxing Day — the biggest racing day of the winter — runs close to normal, and New Year’s Day starts later.
| Day | Date | Next date | Usual pattern in Ilford |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, every shop |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | Normal opening, close around 20:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | Normal times for that day |
| New Year’s Eve | 31 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| New Year’s Day | 1 January | — | Later start around 10:00, close around 20:00 |
Each Ilford branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The live countdowns on this page follow the standard weekly times and the Christmas Day closure only, so check the window card before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December or 1 January.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Ilford (UK time), not the clock on your device, and compares it against each shop’s published times. That keeps the status right even if you are checking from abroad.
The panel at the top
The top panel covers the two branches nearest the town centre, on the High Road and Ilford Lane. It tells you how many are open right now, which is next to close, and how long until the last one shuts for the night. Since every Ilford branch closes at 22:00 Monday to Saturday, the panel’s evening countdown holds for the whole area on those days.
The shop rows
Open now means the shop is inside its published times and the countdown shows how long is left. Closed shows when it opens next. Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before closing so staff can settle slips, so if you are collecting winnings, aim to arrive ten minutes before the time shown.
Map, directions and Street View
Each row has three buttons. Map drops a pin on the shop, Directions plans a route from wherever you are, and Street View shows the street around the shop so you can spot the frontage before you set off. Tap “Use my current location” and the lists re-order themselves so the closest shop is always at the top, and the directions button points to the nearest of all six Ilford branches.
Betfred across the rest of Ilford
Four more branches sit east and north of the town centre: two in Seven Kings, one in Goodmayes and one in Barkingside. All four publish full weekly times.

Betfred near Ilford
Ilford sits in the London Borough of Redbridge in east London, and the neighbouring Betfred branches are listed under their own post towns.
Barking, a mile and a half south, has its own Betfred at 2 Station Road (IG11) — some directories list it under Ilford, but it sits in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Romford, Dagenham and Woodford Green lie to the east and north. The licensing register lists the Seven Kings High Road shop twice, as 695a and 705A, and the Goodmayes shop as both 99 and 99–101 Goodmayes Lane; each is a single branch.
All six branches on this page are licensed by the London Borough of Redbridge. If you are heading for Barking, Romford or Woodford rather than Ilford itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the six Ilford branches.
Other bookmakers in Ilford
Ilford is one of the most crowded betting markets in outer London, with thirty-seven shops across six brands, and Ladbrokes has the most.
Ladbrokes has the most shops in Ilford with ten, including 32 High Street in Barkingside. Paddy Power has eight, among them 107 High Road, 269 Ilford Lane, 695 High Road in Seven Kings and 69–71 Goodmayes Road. William Hill has five, including 177 High Road and 73/77 Ilford Hill; Jennings four, including Cameron Road in Seven Kings and Barkingside High Street; and Coral three, including 186–190 High Road and 1 Chapel Road.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Ilford, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Current listings put the Coral on Chapel Road at 07:30 every day, so for an early weekday bet in the town centre it is first open; on a Saturday the Seven Kings High Road Betfred matches it. Every bookmaker in the borough is closed on Christmas Day by law.
