If you love the Middle of Lidl<\/a>, but don\u2019t live near enough to a supermarket<\/a> to truly take advantage of the bizarre bargains, you\u2019re in luck.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the retailer has announced its going to be expanding across the UK, spending a whopping \u00a3500,000,000 opening new stores – and many of these look set to be in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lidl already has more than 120 stores within the M25<\/a>, but is looking to open hundreds more, with a list of proposed locations being shared in its site requirements brochure for 2025.<\/p>\n

In this document, it was revealed that Lidl desires to launch new stores in more than 200 places across London and from Richmond<\/a> to Chelsea<\/a> some of the areas on the list are rather unexpected.<\/p>\n

While these are only potential locations, not confirmed places where supermarkets will be built, it\u2019s still interesting to see where the budget retailer is setting its sights, especially when it comes to some of the city’s more affluent boroughs. <\/p>\n

Other target areas include Barnes, Battersea, Chelsea, Chiswick, Greenwich, Ham, Highgate, Kensington High Street, South Kensington, Knightsbridge, Nine Elms, Kew, Paddington, Richmond town centre, Soho, Mayfair, Teddington, Twickenham, Westminster, Waterloo, and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

There are also a few spots around the capital where the retailer is looking to relocate an existing store – with plans to move sites in Edmonton Green, Finsbury Park, Ilford, Sydenham and Wembley Park.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the company\u2019s expansion plans, Richard Taylor, Lidl GB\u2019s chief development officer, said: \u2018This level of investment is a clear sign of our ambition. <\/p>\n

‘As we enter our fourth decade in Great Britain and hurtle towards a thousand stores, there are still so many parts of the country crying out for convenient access to a Lidl store.’<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018Our latest site requirements brochure reinforces the scale of our ambition for the future. New Lidl stores mean new jobs, new opportunities for British suppliers, and continued investment into local economies. <\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re proud to be one of the fastest-growing supermarkets in the country, and with this investment, we\u2019re taking another big step in our journey.\u2019<\/p>\n
