| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | A calm start to the week, with most visits around the afternoon racing. |

Bank holiday opening times
Bank holidays are normal trading days for betting shops in England and Wales, with a single legal exception. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every betting premises licence that rules out gambling on Christmas Day, so 25 December is a closure by law.
Outside Christmas Day, a bank holiday at Betfred Rushey Green 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 Rushey Green 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 |
For racing fans the Easter weekend has two standout days: Good Friday, home to the All-Weather Championships finals since 2014, and Easter Monday, which brings one of the busiest jumps programmes of the spring.

| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
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
Expect a normal opening time on Boxing Day and an earlier close at around 20:00. With the King George VI Chase at Kempton and meetings across the country, the afternoon is very busy.
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.
The festive times shown here are the usual Betfred pattern rather than a confirmed timetable for Catford. Branches post their own Christmas times, usually from mid-December, so check the window notice or the Betfred store finder before travelling 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 Rushey Green, 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
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
Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before the published closing time so staff can settle the day’s slips and cash up. If you are collecting winnings, aim to be in the shop at least ten minutes before close.
Getting there
Three Google Maps shortcuts sit at the top of the page: a pin on the shop, directions from your current location, and a Street View preview of the street. Catford Bridge and Catford stations are both about five minutes’ walk west, with trains to London Bridge, Blackfriars and beyond. Catford is also a major bus interchange, with routes including the 47, 54, 136 and 185.
