Betfred Hoxton Street opening times
Betfred, 179 Hoxton Street, London, N1 6RA. Licensed by the London Borough of Hackney, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on Hoxton Street, the long, market-lined street that runs parallel to Kingsland Road through the middle of Hoxton. It is very much a local shop, used by residents of the surrounding estates rather than the Shoreditch crowds a few minutes south. It opens in time for the morning race cards and stays open until 22:00 for the evening football and greyhounds.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Before you travel: times at individual Betfred shops can change at short notice for staffing, refurbishment or big sporting fixtures. Ring the shop or check the Betfred store finder if you are making a special trip late in the evening.
Weekday opening times
The shop keeps the same 09:00 to 22:00 times every weekday.
| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | The calmest day of the week at the counter. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | A steady, local midweek day with evening dogs on the screens. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busier after 19:00 when the evening football kicks off. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening racing and European ties carry trade to 22:00. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busy from late afternoon as weekend accumulators go on. |
Weekend opening times
Saturday opens half an hour earlier than a weekday and Sunday half an hour later. Both close at 22:00.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 08:30 so early coupons can go on before the first race. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 09:30; Sunday football dominates the screens. |
Most local regulars come in on Saturday, so the counter is busiest between noon and the final results. Sunday is steadier, livening up for televised football.
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 Hoxton Street is either a normal trading day or a slightly shorter one. The detail is set out below.
Easter opening times
Easter is business as usual for betting shops in Great Britain. Good Friday opening has been lawful since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force and Easter Sunday carries no restriction, so Betfred Hoxton Street keeps its standard times over the long weekend.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | 08:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | 09:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
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
There are two May bank holidays: the early May Monday and the spring bank holiday at the end of the month. Both are normal Monday trading days here.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
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 Hoxton Street. The afternoon is usually the busiest part of the day.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
At Betfred Hoxton 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.
| Day | Date | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| 27 to 30 December | Between the holidays | — | Normal times, close 20:00 – 22:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
Expect the usual 09:00 open and an early close at around 18:00. Racing runs through the afternoon, so the busiest spell is the middle of the day; by early evening the shop is quiet.
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
Expect an early finish on 31 December, usually about 18:00, after a normal morning start. The evening is quiet, so get any bets on during the day.
New Year’s Day
New Year’s Day is a bank holiday with a later start than usual, typically around 10:00, and an earlier close in the evening. There is a full jumps racing card, so the shop is open and trading, just on a compressed day.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Hoxton Street normally puts its Christmas times in the window from mid-December; check them, or the Betfred store finder, before a trip on 24, 26 or 31 December.
How the live opening times panel works
The status panel at the top of the page works from the current UK time and the published times for Betfred Hoxton Street, so the open or closed flag, today’s close and the countdown are always current. A few details on how it behaves:
What the status means
The flag reads Open during published trading times and Closed outside them. While the shop is closed, the countdown shows the time until it next opens; while it is open, it shows the time until closing, which matters most in the last hour.
Last bets and settling up
Plan to arrive a little before the published close: counters stop taking cash bets shortly beforehand, and paying out winnings takes time too.
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. Hoxton station on the Overground is about five minutes’ walk east. Buses along Kingsland Road, one street over, run towards Shoreditch, the City and Dalston, and Old Street station is around ten minutes south.
