Aldi has released a list of new London locations where the supermarket plans to expand by the end of the year.
It's not just London that will see new stores, the supermarket is opening an average of one new store a week between now and Christmas throughout the UK.
New stores in Plymouth, Leeds and London are among the next to open in the coming weeks.
Supermarkets in Leytonstone and Beckton are set to open in the next couple of months, while Holloway Road and Muswell Hill are also gearing up to welcome new Aldi stores.
The openings will see the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket create more than 150 new jobs in the capital before the end of the year, with even more stores set to open in London during 2025.
Aldi currently has more than 1,020 stores and employs over 45,000 people.
Aldi will be opening nearly 50 stores in Spain this yearAldiAldi continues to offer the best hourly rates in the sector and remains the only supermarket to provide paid breaks, which is worth more than £900 a year for the average store colleague.
Starting pay for Store Assistants at Aldi is £12.40 per hour nationally, rising to £13.35 per hour, and £13.65 per hour inside the M25, rising to £13.95 per hour.
Aldi has been confirmed by Which? as the UK’s cheapest supermarket every single month this year.
The supermarket has a long-term ambition to open another 100 stores in London, creating around 3,500 new jobs.
The supermarket is set to invest £550million in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.
Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “There are still thousands of shoppers in the capital that don’t yet have access to an Aldi nearby and, as a result, too many people have to make do with big prices at the big supermarkets.
“That’s why, while we’re looking to open new stores across the country, London will be a particular focus for us over the coming years.”
In May, Aldi announced its second pay increase for Aldi store colleagues this year, taking the supermarket’s investment in pay this year to £79million.
It comes after Aldi was named cheapest supermarket once again by Which? consumer champions.
The discounter came out cheapest in June where a list of 65 items cost £118.41 on average. Lidl was just behind in second place, where it cost £121.31, while Waitrose was the most expensive, totalling £151.01 - a difference of £32.60 compared to Aldi.
