People of London: Should shops open longer on Sundays?

Do Londoners enjoy traditional opening hours, or think it’s time for change.

00:00So I remember a time when shops weren't open on a Sunday at all.

00:04And I think that you either do that or they stay as long as any other shop.

00:11I think the hours are 11 till 5.

00:14And so when you know that you can go shopping on a Sunday,

00:16it's kind of quite annoying to arrive at half past 10 and the shop's closed

00:19or after 5 and it's closed.

00:22I think if they're going to be open,

00:25they may as well be open the same hours as other days.

00:30It's tough on people who work in shops, of course,

00:32because they have to work on a Sunday and for some of them that may be quite difficult.

00:36I'd be in favour of it.

00:39We were one of the first shops to open on Sunday in Musselhill.

00:45And that was a good thing.

00:49People are very busy now, so they need to shop when they can.
