London at Easter - opening hours
Can someone clarify whether stores are open and on which days over Easter?
The Tripadvisor site http://tinyurl.com/dyfwcd says that stores close on Easter Sunday, but Harrods http://tinyurl.com/c48b5e appears to be open. Thanks T. |

The only post remotely resembling is from PJ o'D about Vienna. Is there something wrong with my ISP? T. |

I think so, unless you have organised the Airbus A380 full of lawyers from Leiden who are determined to shop there that day based on the statement on Mr Rods website that he is open on Bank Holidays. -- JohnT |

mangled uncounted electrons thus: Can someone clarify whether stores are open and on which days over Easter? The Tripadvisor site http://tinyurl.com/dyfwcd says that stores close on Easter Sunday, but Harrods http://tinyurl.com/c48b5e appears to be open. The relevant law (Sunday Trading Act 1994) states quite clearly and categorically that no store with a trading area of more than 280 sq. m. / 3000 sq. ft. can open on Easter Sunday. Identical restrictions on opening on Christmas Day are imposed by the Christmas Day (Trading) Act 2004. Stores with less than the above trading area can open or not as they please. It appears that Harrods has made a mistake if they actually state that they will be open on Easter Sunday (as opposed to stating that they are simply normally open on Sundays). Martin D. Pay There are no exceptions in either law for shops owned/operated by persons of non-Christian religions. |

Tom P.:
Can someone clarify whether stores are open and on which days over Easter? Martin Pay: The relevant law (Sunday Trading Act 1994) states quite clearly and categorically that no store with a trading area of more than 280 sq. m. / 3000 sq. ft. can open on Easter Sunday. So? The question was whether they would be open, not whether it would be legal for them to open. I don't know about London, but in Toronto I've certainly seen large stores open on days when they were not allowed to be. The store owners took the view that if the store turned out to be busy at such times, this proved that there was a public demand to change the law, and any fines they incurred in the meantime would be more than offset by the extra business. (And indeed the laws have been changed, twice in my memory.) -- Mark Brader | "It is impractical for the standard to attempt to Toronto | constrain the behavior of code that does not obey | the constraints of the standard." -- Doug Gwyn My text in this article is in the public domain. |
