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 | Steady footfall from the surrounding shops keeps queues short. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Afternoon racing brings in the regulars; the evening is relaxed. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Quieter by day, busier for the evening fixtures. |

|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | The week’s busiest day, from the morning racing to the late football. |

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.
Elsewhere in the calendar, expect either normal times or a slightly shorter day. Here is how the bank holidays usually look at Betfred High Road, East Finchley.
Easter opening times
Good Friday opening has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 took effect, and Easter Sunday carries no trading restriction in Great Britain, so the Easter weekend here looks much like any other.
| 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 |
British racing on Good Friday is now a fixture, with the All-Weather Championships finals run on it since 2014, and Easter Monday brings a packed programme of jumps meetings, so both days are lively in the shop.
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 High Road, East Finchley.
| 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 |

How the live opening times panel works
The live panel checks UK time against the trading times in the tables above, so the open or closed status, today’s closing time and the countdown update every second. Here is how to read it.
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
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
Tap the Google Maps buttons at the top to see where the shop is, get directions from where you are, or look at the street in Street View before you set off. East Finchley station, on the High Barnet branch of the Northern line, is about three minutes’ walk. Buses 102, 143 and 263 run along the High Road.
