Looking for a Ladbrokes betting shop near you?
Ladbrokes remains one of the most recognisable betting-shop brands in Britain, with branches in towns and cities across the country.
The quickest way to find a local Ladbrokes is to use a current shop locator rather than an old directory of addresses. Betting shops regularly close, relocate or change their opening hours, so a live location search gives you more reliable information.
Use the locator below to search for a Ladbrokes by postcode or location.
Lots of new shops open all the time, and if you notice that your local Ladbrokes shop is not on the list, then drop us a message, and we will get it added.
ind My Nearest Ladbrokes
Enter your postcode or location into the shop locator to find nearby Ladbrokes branches.
Before travelling, check the individual branch for:
- Address: Confirm you have selected the correct branch.
- Opening Times: Hours differ between locations.
- Sunday Hours: These can differ from weekday trading.
- Bank Holidays: Reduced or amended opening hours may apply.
- Accessibility: Facilities depend on the individual premises.
- In-Shop Facilities: Betting terminals and other facilities can vary.
This is more reliable than maintaining a fixed national list of Ladbrokes addresses.
The previous version of this page contained hundreds of postcodes. We have removed that directory because a branch can close while its old address continues to appear in historic lists and search results.
Does Ladbrokes Still Have Betting Shops?
Yes.
Ladbrokes continues to operate physical betting shops alongside its online sportsbook.
The brand is owned by Entain, which also owns Coral. Ladbrokes and Coral continue to operate as separate customer-facing bookmaker brands despite sharing the same parent company.
Entain has a substantial retail estate across the UK and Ireland, with Ladbrokes and Coral forming the core of its high-street betting operation.
This makes Ladbrokes an important part of the British retail betting market, but the old claim that Ladbrokes alone operates 4,000 UK shops is no longer accurate.
How Many Ladbrokes Shops Are There in the UK?
There is no current figure we consider reliable enough to claim that Ladbrokes alone operates a precise number of UK shops.
The previous version of this page stated that Ladbrokes had nearly 4,000 shops in the UK.
That figure has been removed.
Current Entain reporting states that more than 2,400 Ladbrokes and Coral shops combined across the UK and Ireland were upgraded as part of the company’s Group BetStation rollout.
That combined figure makes the old claim of 4,000 Ladbrokes shops clearly obsolete.
Shop estates also change as branches close, relocate or change use.
For someone looking for a Ladbrokes today, the current location of the nearest branch is more useful than an historic national shop total.
Who Owns Ladbrokes?
Ladbrokes is owned by Entain.
Entain is a major international sports betting and gaming group whose brands include Ladbrokes and Coral.
The current corporate structure developed after GVC Holdings completed its acquisition of Ladbrokes Coral Group in 2018. GVC subsequently became Entain.
Ladbrokes and Coral remain distinct bookmaker brands.
That means you can still find separate Ladbrokes and Coral betting shops despite both businesses belonging to the same parent group.
Our biggest bookmakers page explains how bookmaker brands and their parent gambling groups differ.
Are Ladbrokes and Coral the Same Company?
Ladbrokes and Coral share the same parent company, Entain.
They remain separate brands.
A Ladbrokes betting shop therefore remains branded as Ladbrokes rather than Coral, and customers searching for a specific shop should check which brand operates the branch.
The distinction is useful when searching for a local bookmaker because a nearby Coral is not the same shop as a Ladbrokes even though both ultimately belong to Entain.
Ladbrokes Betting Shop Opening Times
There is no single opening time covering every Ladbrokes betting shop.
Hours depend on the individual branch.
Location can make a considerable difference. A shop in a shopping centre may operate according to the centre’s trading hours, while a standalone high-street branch can have a different schedule.
Opening hours can also change according to the day of the week.
Check the individual Ladbrokes branch before travelling rather than relying on a general national opening time.
What Time Does Ladbrokes Open?
Ladbrokes opening times vary by branch.
The old version of this page suggested that most shops opened between 8:30am and 9am. We have removed that as a general rule because it cannot reliably answer when a particular branch opens.
Search for the specific shop and check its current hours.
This is particularly important if you plan to visit early in the morning.
What Time Does Ladbrokes Close?
Closing times also vary.
Some shops trade later than others, particularly in busy town and city locations.
Summer evening racing can mean there is sporting activity long after the normal working day, but that does not mean every Ladbrokes stays open until the final race.
Check your local branch for its current closing time.
Is Ladbrokes Open on Sundays?
Many Ladbrokes betting shops trade on Sundays.
Sunday hours can be shorter than weekday or Saturday opening hours.
The exact times depend on the branch, so check the location before travelling.
Sunday is regularly a major racing day, particularly during festivals and significant Flat and National Hunt meetings.
Is Ladbrokes Open on Bank Holidays?
Some Ladbrokes branches open on bank holidays, but normal weekday hours should not be assumed.
Bank-holiday trading can differ by branch and location.
This is particularly relevant around Christmas because Boxing Day is one of the biggest days in the British racing calendar.
The King George VI Chase at Kempton is the centrepiece of Boxing Day racing, accompanied by meetings elsewhere in Britain and Ireland.
Check Christmas and bank-holiday opening times before travelling to a Ladbrokes shop.
What Can You Bet on in a Ladbrokes Shop?
Ladbrokes betting shops provide markets across horse racing and other major sports.
Depending on the day’s programme, markets can include:
- Horse Racing
- Greyhound Racing
- Football
- Tennis
- Golf
- Darts
- Snooker
- US Sports
Individual markets and betting options vary according to the events taking place.
Horse racing remains a central part of the British betting-shop experience, with daily British and Irish race meetings covered alongside selected international racing.
Betting on Horse Racing at Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes has a long association with British horse racing.
A customer visiting a shop can check the day’s races, select a horse and place a retail bet.
For a straightforward horse-racing bet, make sure you can clearly identify:
- Racecourse
- Race Time
- Horse
- Stake
- Bet Type
If you want an each-way bet, make this clear when placing it.
For multiple selections, check every horse and race before confirming the bet.
Our horse racing bet types page explains common bets including singles, doubles, trebles and accumulators.
Can You Bet With Cash at Ladbrokes?
Yes. Cash betting remains an important reason some customers use betting shops.
You can place qualifying retail bets in a Ladbrokes shop and pay the stake in cash, subject to the bookmaker’s rules and any applicable requirements.
Keep your betting slip after placing the bet.
The slip provides evidence of the wager and is important when collecting winnings.
This differs from an online bet, where the transaction and settlement are recorded within your betting account.
How Do You Place a Bet in Ladbrokes?
A traditional over-the-counter bet can be placed by clearly providing the details of your selection and stake.
For horse racing, check the horse, meeting and race time carefully.
Make sure the bet type is also clear.
A £10 win bet and a £10 each-way bet are not the same wager. A £10 each-way bet normally represents two £10 stakes, making the total stake £20.
If you are unfamiliar with a particular bet, ask what the total stake will be before confirming it.
You can also use our bet calculator to understand potential stakes and returns for common bet types.
Does Ladbrokes Have Self-Service Betting Terminals?
Yes. Self-service betting is now an important part of the Ladbrokes and Coral retail estate.
Entain completed the rollout of its Group BetStation technology across its Ladbrokes and Coral shops in the UK and Ireland in 2025.
The programme covered more than 2,400 shops and converted around 12,000 betting terminals.
These terminals allow customers to browse markets and construct bets digitally inside a physical betting shop.
They provide an alternative to writing out or placing every bet over the counter.
What Is Ladbrokes BetStation?
BetStation is Entain’s self-service sports betting system used across its Ladbrokes and Coral retail estate.
It allows customers to browse betting markets and create bets on a touchscreen.
The technology has become a significant part of how bets are placed in modern Ladbrokes shops.
Entain reported that Grand National bets placed through the system increased by more than half year on year following its rollout.
For horse-racing customers, it means the traditional betting-shop experience now includes considerably more digital interaction than it did a decade ago.
Does Ladbrokes Have Racing Bet Builder in Shops?
Ladbrokes and Coral introduced Racing Bet Builder in 2026 for customers online and in retail shops across the UK and Ireland.
The product allows qualifying customers to combine different selections or outcomes relating to the same race into one bet.
It reflects the wider move towards bringing betting features more commonly associated with digital sportsbooks into physical shops.
Check the current Ladbrokes rules and available markets before placing this type of bet.
Can You Watch Horse Racing in Ladbrokes?
Ladbrokes shops commonly provide live sports coverage, including horse racing.
The exact races and channels shown can depend on the day’s schedule and individual shop.
If watching a particular race matters to you, check with the branch.
Betting shops remain one way of watching racing away from home while placing a retail bet.
For other options, our live horse racing streaming page explains how racing can be watched through different services.
Does Ladbrokes Have Racecards in Its Shops?
Information on the day’s horse racing is available in Ladbrokes shops, although the way it is presented has changed as retail betting has become more digital.
Do not rely on the old assumption that every branch provides exactly the same printed material.
You can check runners, form and races before visiting through our today’s racecards page.
Racecards are particularly useful for checking:
- Runners
- Race Times
- Recent Form
- Weights
- Official Ratings
- Jockeys
- Trainers
Understanding those details before placing a bet is more useful than choosing a horse solely from its price.
Can You Collect Ladbrokes Winnings in Cash?
Retail betting winnings can be collected according to Ladbrokes’ applicable shop rules.
Keep the original betting slip.
For larger payouts, a branch may not necessarily have sufficient cash available to settle the full amount immediately.
Procedures can also depend on the size and nature of the winning bet.
If you have an unusually large winning slip, check with Ladbrokes before making a special journey to collect it.
Our maximum payout betting sites page explains why maximum winnings and payout arrangements should be considered when placing unusually large bets.
Can I Collect a Ladbrokes Bet at Another Shop?
Do not assume every winning betting slip can automatically be collected at any Ladbrokes branch.
Collection arrangements can depend on the bet, amount and applicable retail rules.
If you intend to collect from a different shop from the one where you placed the bet, check with Ladbrokes first.
This is particularly sensible for a large payout.
Do Ladbrokes Shop Bets Expire?
Winning retail slips should be claimed within the period specified by Ladbrokes’ current retail betting rules.
Do not leave a winning slip unclaimed because retail rules and claim procedures apply.
Keep the physical ticket safe until the bet has been settled and any winnings collected.
If you find an older winning slip, contact Ladbrokes rather than assuming it can or cannot still be paid.
Can You Cash Out a Ladbrokes Shop Bet?
Cash Out availability depends on the bet and Ladbrokes’ current retail functionality and rules.
Do not assume that every shop bet qualifies simply because a similar online bet displays a Cash Out option.
Check the availability before relying on it as part of your betting decision.
Are Ladbrokes Shop Odds the Same as Online?
Not necessarily.
Retail and online prices can differ.
A price displayed on the Ladbrokes website or app should not automatically be assumed to be available over the counter.
The same principle applies to promotions and concessions.
Check the price available when placing your bet.
Price differences matter.
For example, a £10 winning bet at 4/1 returns £50 including the stake.
The same £10 winning bet at 5/1 returns £60.
Our main betting odds page explains how racing prices work.
Does Best Odds Guaranteed Apply in Ladbrokes Shops?
Do not assume that a concession advertised for online horse-racing bets automatically applies to a retail bet.
Best Odds Guaranteed rules can specify qualifying channels, races, bet types and times.
Check the current terms applying to your bet before placing it.
Our Best Odds Guaranteed page explains how the concession works and why the terms matter.
Does Ladbrokes Offer Each-Way Betting in Shops?
Yes, each-way betting is a standard part of horse-racing betting.
An each-way bet consists of a win part and a place part.
The number of places and the fraction of the win odds paid on the place part depend on the race and applicable terms.
Enhanced place offers should be checked separately because promotional terms can differ between online and retail betting.
Our each-way betting guide explains stakes, place fractions and returns.
Can You Place a Lucky 15 in Ladbrokes?
Multiple horse-racing bets can be available in betting shops, including popular combinations such as the Lucky 15.
A Lucky 15 uses four selections and contains 15 bets:
- Four Singles
- Six Doubles
- Four Trebles
- One Four-Fold Accumulator
The total stake depends on the unit stake.
Use our Lucky 15 bet calculator to calculate the stake and potential returns.
For six selections, our Lucky 63 bet calculator covers the larger 63-bet multiple.
What Happens if My Horse Is a Non-Runner?
Non-runner treatment depends on when and how the bet was placed and the rules applying to the market.
For standard horse-racing betting, withdrawals can also affect the prices paid on remaining runners through a Rule 4 deduction where applicable.
A Rule 4 can reduce winnings when a horse is withdrawn after a market has formed.
Our Rule 4 calculator helps explain how deductions affect returns.
Keep your betting slip and check the settled result if a runner is withdrawn.
Can You Use a Ladbrokes Shop Without an Online Account?
You do not generally need to open a conventional online sportsbook account simply to make an ordinary qualifying cash bet over the counter in a betting shop.
Retail betting and online account betting are different channels.
However, age-verification, identity, source-of-funds or other regulatory requirements can apply depending on the circumstances.
Shop staff can request information where required.
Do You Need ID to Bet at Ladbrokes?
Betting is restricted to adults aged 18 and over.
Retail bookmakers operate age-verification policies and staff can request identification.
If you are unable to demonstrate that you are old enough to gamble when asked, you should expect the transaction to be refused.
Other checks can also be required in appropriate circumstances.
Are Ladbrokes Betting Shops Regulated?
Ladbrokes’ British retail betting operation is subject to Gambling Commission licensing and regulation.
Physical betting premises are also subject to local premises licensing.
The Gambling Commission public register lists Ladbrokes Betting & Gaming Limited and individual betting premises operating under the Ladbrokes name.
A recognisable brand name does not remove the importance of gambling regulation.
Does Ladbrokes Have Shops in London?
Yes.
Ladbrokes operates betting shops in London.
The exact branch network changes, so use current location information rather than relying on an old list of London postcodes.
Our London betting shops page covers the wider retail betting market across the capital.
It includes information for people searching central, north, south, east and west London.
Ladbrokes Shops Near Racecourses
The best branch depends on the racecourse you are travelling to and your starting location.
For racegoers, there may be little benefit in searching for a Ladbrokes immediately beside the course.
You can place a bet before travelling, use betting facilities at the racecourse or choose another method once you arrive.
Our UK racecourses section provides information on British courses, meetings and travel.
If you are attending a major festival, allow additional time for transport and betting because shops, stations and racecourses can be considerably busier.
Ladbrokes Shops for Cheltenham Festival Betting
The Cheltenham Festival produces some of the busiest National Hunt betting of the year.
Major races include the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle and Queen Mother Champion Chase.
If you intend to place a complicated multiple or several bets in a shop, avoid leaving everything until immediately before the race.
Check your selections and stakes first.
This reduces the risk of making a mistake when a shop is busy.
Ladbrokes Shops for Grand National Betting
The Grand National is one of the biggest retail betting events of the year.
People who rarely bet on racing often visit bookmakers specifically for the race.
Ladbrokes shops provide Grand National betting alongside the brand’s online sportsbook.
The race’s large field also makes it particularly important to check each-way terms rather than looking only at the win price.
Read our Grand National coverage before the meeting for race information and analysis.
Ladbrokes Betting Shop or Online Betting?
Retail and online betting provide different experiences.
A Ladbrokes shop can suit someone who:
- Wants To Bet With Cash
- Prefers A Physical Betting Slip
- Wants To Watch Racing In A Shop
- Does Not Want To Place The Bet Through A Mobile App
- Prefers To Speak To Shop Staff
Online betting can suit someone who:
- Wants To Compare Prices Quickly
- Bets While Away From A High Street
- Uses Digital Racecards And Form
- Wants To Manage Bets Through An Account
- Prefers A Mobile Betting Experience
British Racecourses does not recommend Ladbrokes simply because it has a large high-street presence.
Readers comparing online bookmakers specifically for racing should use our best horse racing betting sites comparison.
Mobile bettors can use our horse racing betting apps comparison.
Ladbrokes Versus Other Betting Shops
Finding a Ladbrokes is only one option if your main aim is to place a retail bet.
Britain’s high streets also include bookmaker brands such as Coral, William Hill, Betfred and BoyleSports.
The closest branch geographically is not necessarily the easiest one to reach.
Transport links, parking, opening hours and the facilities you need can all affect the choice.
Use our Betting Shops Near Me page if you are happy to use another bookmaker.
Is Ladbrokes Britain’s Biggest Bookmaker?
It is not accurate to describe Ladbrokes simply as “Britain’s largest bookmaker” without defining the measure being used.
Bookmakers can be compared by retail shops, online activity, revenue, parent-company size or other measures.
Ladbrokes is a major British bookmaker with a substantial retail presence, but it is part of the much larger Entain group and shares Entain’s UK retail network with Coral.
Our biggest bookmakers page explains why customer numbers, website visits and shop totals should not be mixed together to create a misleading ranking.
Why Has British Racecourses Removed the Old Ladbrokes Shop List?
The previous version of this page contained hundreds of Ladbrokes addresses and postcodes.
We have removed them because betting-shop directories deteriorate quickly.
A static list can contain a branch that has:
- Closed
- Relocated
- Changed Opening Hours
- Changed Operator
- Changed Facilities
That creates a poor experience for someone searching “Ladbrokes near me” because their intention is normally to find a shop they can actually visit now.
The live locator remains the better tool.
Finding an Accessible Ladbrokes Shop
Accessibility depends on the individual premises.
Some Ladbrokes branches occupy modern retail units while others operate from older high-street buildings.
If you require step-free access or another specific facility, check the individual shop before travelling.
Do not assume every Ladbrokes has an identical layout simply because the branding is the same.
Ladbrokes Near Me FAQs

An ordinary qualifying over-the-counter cash bet does not generally require you to hold a conventional online Ladbrokes sportsbook account. Regulatory checks can still apply.

Responsible Gambling
Betting-shop convenience should not determine how much you gamble.
Decide how much you can afford to spend before placing a bet and do not increase stakes in an attempt to recover previous losses.
Betting should not be treated as a source of income.
Retail bookmakers provide safer-gambling information and controls. Help is also available if gambling begins causing financial, personal or emotional problems.
British Racecourses betting content is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
Summary
Ladbrokes remains a major British high-street bookmaker, but its retail estate has changed substantially since the original version of this page was published.
The old claim that Ladbrokes operates nearly 4,000 UK shops is no longer credible. Entain’s current reporting refers to more than 2,400 Ladbrokes and Coral shops combined across the UK and Ireland.
We have therefore removed the old static directory containing hundreds of Ladbrokes postcodes.
Use the shop locator at the top of this page to find a current branch and check its address, opening hours and facilities before travelling.
For all bookmaker brands, use our Betting Shops Near Me locator.
For online horse-racing accounts, compare the racing product separately through our best horse racing betting sites page.
