Betfred Lee High Road opening times
Betfred, 347-349 Lee High Road, London, SE12 8RU. Licensed by the London Borough of Lewisham, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on Lee High Road near Lee Green, where the A20 meets Burnt Ash Road and Eltham Road on the Lewisham–Greenwich border. It is a neighbourhood shop serving Lee’s Victorian terraces and the passing traffic on the A20. Doors open at 09:00 on weekdays, 08:30 on Saturdays and 09:30 on Sundays, and close at 22:00.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Why 22:00? Betting premises licences in England and Wales carry a default condition under the Gambling Act 2005 that bars gambling between 22:00 and 07:00 unless the licensing authority removes it, which is why most high-street bookmakers close at 22:00. Individual branch times can still change at short notice, so check before a late trip.
Weekday opening times
Opening and closing times do not change from Monday to Friday: 09:00 to 22:00 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
The weekend times bookend the weekday pattern: 08:30 on Saturday, 09:30 on Sunday.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | Earliest open of the week, ahead of the day’s racing and the 15:00 football. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 09:30, with Sunday racing and live football through the afternoon. |
Saturday is comfortably the busiest day at this branch. If you want a machine or a seat for the afternoon racing, arriving before midday makes a real difference.
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 Lee High Road 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 Lee. Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain.
| 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.
May bank holiday opening times
The early May bank holiday and the spring bank holiday both follow ordinary Monday times in Lee: 09:00 to 22:00.
| 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
The August bank holiday brings a full racing programme and, most years, Premier League football, so the afternoon is 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
The Christmas fortnight is the one stretch of the year when times at this shop genuinely differ from the weekly pattern. Christmas Day is a legally enforced closure. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve usually finish early, and the days between Christmas and New Year run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.
| 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
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
On 1 January, Betfred Lee High Road 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.
Bank holiday times listed here reflect the pattern Betfred shops in London usually follow. Individual branches set their own festive times and a card is normally posted in the window from around mid-December. Check that card or the Betfred store finder before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December.
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. Lee station, with Southeastern trains to London Bridge and Charing Cross, is around ten minutes’ walk south along Burnt Ash Road. Buses 261 and 321 run along Lee High Road towards Lewisham.
