Thamesmead Aldi to reopen on 30th January

The rebuilt Aldi supermarket in Thamesmead will reopen at the end of this month on 30th January.

The store has been closed for some time now. Plans were first revealed and covered on this site in 2017.

There’s been a bit of a ding-dong recently as those plans included smartening up areas with greenery alongside the shop. That will now not happen as apparently the landowner – which isn’t Aldi – didn’t want it.

On a wider basis, this store and others nearby are due to be knocked down for an entirely new Thamesmead centre looking something like this:

This is, however, many years off.

As a private renter living costs are very high and ads bring in relatively little to the site. I run it alone, and you can support me through Paypal with a one-off or monthly donation here

Finally there's the Ko-fi option

Many thanks

There's also a Facebook page for the site here

I've lived in south east London most of my life growing up in Greenwich borough and working in the area for many years. The site has contributors on occasion and we cover many different topics. Living and working in the area offers an insight into what is happening locally.

One thought on “Thamesmead Aldi to reopen on 30th January

  • This is good news for the residents of Thamesmsead. This Aldi Store was very popular when previously open which i am sure it will be again upon it’s re-opening. on the 30th January..

    It is a pity the landowner did not want greenery planted by the store as this would have improved the look of the area.
