Where St Albans's Ladbrokes branches actually are
Three branches, and they run in a line from the middle of the city out to the south-east: St Peter's Street in the centre, The Quadrant at Marshalswick a mile and a half north-east, and London Colney two and a half miles south. The interesting part is the weekend, when the pattern reverses and the furthest branch becomes the latest.
The city centre: St Peter's Street
St Peter's Street is the only Ladbrokes in central St Albans, on the main thoroughfare beside the market. It opens at 8:30am on weekdays and 8:00am on Saturday, closing at 10:00pm six days a week.
Sunday is where it drops: 9:30am to 8:00pm, two hours earlier than London Colney. It is the busiest of the three and the obvious choice on a weekday evening.
Marshalswick: The Quadrant
The Quadrant at Marshalswick keeps by far the shortest hours in the city: 9:00am to 7:00pm on weekdays, 8:30am to 7:00pm on Saturday and 8:00am to 6:30pm on Sunday.
It does have one distinction — that 8:00am Sunday opening is the earliest in the city on that day, two hours before the other two unlock. But it closes at half past six, so it is a morning and afternoon shop rather than an evening one.
London Colney: the late option
London Colney on the High Street, two and a half miles south towards the A414, opens at 9:00am on weekdays and closes at 10:00pm. Crucially it holds a full 8:00am to 10:00pm on Sunday, which makes it the only branch in the St Albans area open until ten on a Sunday night — and gives it a fourteen-hour Sunday against the city-centre shop's ten and a half.
Ladbrokes opening times in St Albans, day by day
The ranges below come from the three St Albans branches on this page. The Sunday row is worth reading closely, because the usual city-centre-is-best assumption does not hold here.
Ranges across the 3 St Albans branches listed above. Individual shops set their own hours under local licensing conditions.

Earliest opening in St Albans
On a weekday, St Peter's Street is earliest at 8:30am, with The Quadrant at 9:00am and London Colney at 9:00am. Saturday brings St Peter's Street forward to 8:00am. The genuine surprise is Sunday, when The Quadrant and London Colney both open at 8:00am — two hours before the 9:30am start at the city-centre branch, and unusually early for a Sunday anywhere.
Latest closing in St Albans
St Peter's Street and London Colney both close at 10:00pm on a weekday. The Quadrant closes at 7:00pm, three hours earlier, and keeps that finish on Saturday too. If you are in Marshalswick in the evening, the city-centre branch is a mile and a half away and open three hours longer.
Sunday reverses the usual pattern
This is the detail worth remembering about St Albans. London Colney is the only branch open until 10:00pm on a Sunday, and it opens at 8:00am too — a fourteen-hour day. St Peter's Street in the city centre closes at 8:00pm, and The Quadrant at 6:30pm. On a Sunday evening the furthest branch from the middle is the one still trading.
What to expect inside a St Albans Ladbrokes
The shops are far more standardised than the hours. Every branch on this list is a licensed betting office regulated by the Gambling Commission, and the practical details are much the same at all three.
- Over-the-counter betting on racing, football and most other sports, with staff who will write a bet up if you are unsure.
- Self-service betting terminals for placing bets without queueing at the counter.
- Live racing and sport on screen through the trading day.
- Grid card linking, so a bet placed in the shop can be tracked or settled through the app.
- Cash withdrawals of online winnings at the counter, subject to ID and the shop holding enough cash.
- Card and cash both accepted, though staking limits apply on machines.
- Parking on site or nearby at The Quadrant and London Colney, which sit in suburban parades rather than on a busy city-centre street.
- Think 21 and Think 25 age checks operated in every branch, without exception.
Getting there
St Peter's Street is in the middle of the city, a few minutes from the market and about fifteen minutes' walk from St Albans City station. The Quadrant at Marshalswick is served by the buses running north-east from the centre, and London Colney by the frequent services south along the A1081 towards the A414 — around fifteen to twenty minutes by bus.
Driving into the centre means the Drovers Way or Russell Avenue car parks, since St Peter's Street has no parking of its own and the surrounding streets are heavily restricted. The Quadrant and London Colney are both straightforward by car with parking close by. The directions button on each listing opens Google Maps in walking mode by default.
Before you travel. Check the closing time, not just whether the shop is currently open. Counter service usually winds down before the doors physically shut, so allow at least 20 minutes if you need to be served rather than use a terminal — particularly if you are collecting a large payout or withdrawing online winnings in cash.
18+ only. Every branch operates Think 21 or Think 25, so bring photo ID if you look under 25. A passport, UK photocard driving licence or PASS-accredited card will do.

Why does the Marshalswick branch close so early?
Hours are set shop by shop under local licensing conditions. The Quadrant keeps 9:00am to 7:00pm on weekdays and closes at 6:30pm on Sunday, which is the shortest day of the three. For an evening bet, head to St Peter's Street or London Colney.
Are there any 24-hour Ladbrokes shops in St Albans?
No. UK licensed betting offices cannot trade around the clock, and the latest any St Albans Ladbrokes closes is 10:00pm. If the shops are shut, licensed online betting remains available to verified account holders.
Can I withdraw online winnings at a Ladbrokes shop here?
Generally yes, at the counter, using your Grid card or account details along with photo ID. It depends on the cash the shop is holding at the time, so for a large withdrawal phone the branch first on 0800 022 3454.
Do the opening hours change on bank holidays?
Yes. Most branches open on bank holidays but run reduced, Sunday-style hours. Christmas Day is the one date on which almost every UK betting shop closes. Holiday hours are set locally and change from year to year.
Why do Google and the Ladbrokes shop finder show different hours?
Third-party listings lag behind real changes, particularly around holidays, staffing gaps and refurbishments. When the two disagree, phone the branch. That is the only source reflecting today's actual position.
Safer gambling and support
Every shop listed here is licensed by the Gambling Commission and must offer the standard player protection tools: deposit and time limits on machines, self-exclusion, and staff trained to talk it through with you. Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion lets you block yourself from every betting shop within a chosen radius with a single request, and it covers rival brands as well as Ladbrokes. In St Albans the three branches sit some distance apart, so set the radius deliberately if you are self-excluding.
- Set a limit before you go, and treat it as fixed.
- Only stake money you can genuinely afford to lose.
- Do not chase losses — the most common route into difficulty.
- Take breaks, and avoid betting when stressed or under the influence.
