Tesco has responded to London’s long-awaited night tube by extending some of its store opening times to 24hrs.
The retailer said it trial opening seven additional stores all night along the Victoria and Central lines in a bid to increase convenience for late night and early morning travellers.
In addition, new ‘Hydration Stations’ at the front of store, which ran from 3am-7am on 19 and 20 August, saw Tesco staff handing out orange juice and cold bottled water to tube night workers and party goers heading home.
Martin Smith, Tesco's London convenience director, said: “We're delighted to announce these new opening hours at select stores, helping to make life easier for those either working late or enjoying London’s nightlife.”
