Betfred Opening Times, 149 Clapham High Street, London SW4 7SS

Betfred Clapham High Street opening times

Betfred, 149 Clapham High Street, London, SW4 7SS. Licensed by the London Borough of Lambeth, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

This Betfred is at the southern end of Clapham High Street, a few doors from Clapham Common station and the Common itself. The High Street is one of south London’s busiest nightlife strips, so the shop is lively in the evenings as well as during the day. Doors open at 09:00 on weekdays, 08:30 on Saturdays and 09:30 on Sundays, and close at 22:00.

Weekday opening times

Weekdays run from 09:00 to 22:00, a thirteen-hour trading day.

Weekend opening times

The weekend times bookend the weekday pattern: 08:30 on Saturday, 09:30 on Sunday.

Saturday brings the biggest crowd, with shoppers in Clapham adding to the regulars from late morning onwards. For a quieter visit, go before 11:00.

Bank holiday opening times

Betting shops in England and Wales may trade on every bank holiday, with one exception. Under the Gambling Act 2005, every betting premises licence carries a condition that the premises cannot be used to provide gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so this shop is closed on 25 December by law rather than by choice.

Outside Christmas Day, a bank holiday at Betfred Clapham High Street is either a normal trading day or a slightly shorter one. The detail is set out below.

Easter opening times

From Good Friday to Easter Monday, expect the normal weekly pattern in Clapham. Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain.

Good Friday has carried British racing since 2014, when the All-Weather Championships Finals Day was first staged on it, so there is a proper afternoon card alongside football and greyhounds. Easter Monday is one of the fullest jumps racing days of the spring.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays, the first Monday and the last Monday of the month, run on normal Monday times at Betfred Clapham High Street.

August bank holiday opening times

Summer bank holiday Monday, at the end of August, keeps normal Monday times of 09:00 to 22:00 at Betfred Clapham High Street. The afternoon is usually the busiest part of the day.

Christmas opening times

At Betfred Clapham High Street, the weekly pattern holds for almost the whole year and only changes over Christmas and New Year. Christmas Day is a legal closure, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve finish early, and the days in between stay close to normal because the racing calendar is at its busiest.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is a normal opening time with an early finish, typically around 18:00, so staff can get away for the evening. The last cash bets go on well before then. It is a full racing day, so the shop is often busy through the middle of the afternoon before emptying out sharply.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is the busiest single day in the betting shop calendar. Expect a full morning open and a strong afternoon around the King George VI Chase at Kempton, with a slightly earlier close than a standard Saturday.

New Year opening times

New Year’s Eve

On New Year’s Eve, Betfred Clapham High Street opens at its usual time and closes early, generally around 18:00. Bets on the next day’s racing are best placed in the afternoon.

New Year’s Day

On 1 January, Betfred Clapham High Street normally opens around 10:00 and closes around 20:00. There is a full jumps racing programme, so it is a proper trading day, just a shorter one.

How the live opening times panel works

The panel at the top of this page reads the clock in the UK and compares it against this shop’s trading times, so the status, the closing time and the countdown are always current. It runs on the same times published in the tables above. Three things are worth knowing about how it behaves.

What the status means

When the panel shows Open, the current UK time falls inside today’s trading times. Closed means it does not, and the countdown then runs to the next opening instead of the next close. Within the final hour, keep an eye on the countdown.

Last bets and settling up

Staff stop taking cash bets shortly before the published close so they can settle slips and cash up. To collect winnings, arrive at least ten minutes before the doors shut.

Getting there

The three buttons at the top of the page open Google Maps: the first drops a pin on the shop, the second builds a route from wherever you are standing, and the third loads Street View so you can see the area before you set off. Clapham Common station on the Northern line is about a minute away, and Clapham North and Clapham High Street (Overground) are around five minutes north. Buses 35, 37, 88 and 345 stop nearby.
