About
What this site is
24H London is an independent, ad-free reference for a single question: what is actually available in London right now, at this hour?
What we are not
We are not a business, a booking agent, an emergency service or a call centre. There is no phone number to ring here. If you need help now, go straight to the operator or service we link to — never through us.
Emergency? Call 999 in the UK for police, fire or ambulance. For urgent medical advice that is not an emergency, call 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk.
How we research
- The most primary source available. Timetables come from the operator. Health services come from the NHS. Trades come from the statutory register. For anything that could put you at risk, that is the only standard we accept.
- And we say when it is weaker. A handful of venue entries rest on a third-party listing rather than the venue itself, because the venue publishes nothing usable. Those name the listing they came from, so you can see the difference and weigh it yourself. We would rather show you a second-hand source than hide one.
- Every page is dated. You can see when a guide was written and when it was last checked.
- Patterns over listings. A named shop's hours go stale in a week. How to find an open pharmacy at 4am does not. We write the second kind.
- We say when we do not know. An honest gap beats a confident guess.
Things change. Check before you go.
Timetables get cut. Venues close. Night services are suspended for engineering work with little notice. Treat every guide here as a starting point and confirm the detail with the operator before you rely on it.
Money
Listings here are editorial: nobody pays to be listed and nothing is ranked by who pays. The site may carry advertising. Any advertising or paid placement is labelled as such.
Corrections
If something here is wrong or out of date, we want to know. Corrections are applied to the article and the "updated" date is changed so you can see it happened.
