Sneaker shops in London 2026: the full list of stores, addresses and opening hours

Sneaker shops in London 2026: the full list of stores, addresses and opening hours

Sneaker shops in London are concentrated more tightly than in any other European capital. Soho alone holds size?, Supreme, Palace, Patta, Dover Street Market, Footpatrol and END. within a short walk of each other, which means you can cover the most important names in the city in an afternoon. Below is the full list: addresses, opening hours and a route that makes sense on foot.

TL;DR

• Soho is the centre of everything, with seven major stores within walking distance

• London shops open on Sunday, unlike Berlin, which changes how a weekend works

• Footpatrol on Berwick Street is the heritage pick, trading since 2002

• END. on Broadwick Street is the largest, at two floors of marble, steel and maple

• Four of the stores below run webshops covered by cashback, so you can buy without travelling

Why London beats Berlin for a weekend

Two reasons, and both are practical rather than aesthetic.

Sunday. German trading law closes every shop in Berlin on Sundays without exception. London has no such rule, and most sneaker stores keep Sunday hours. If you have a weekend rather than a working week, that difference decides the trip.

Density. Berlin's tightest cluster is four shops on Köpenicker Straße. Soho holds roughly double that within the same walking distance, and they are bigger names.

What Berlin has that London does not is a scene built around local independents rather than international chains. That is a real difference in character, but it does not help you if you have two days.

Sneaker shops in Soho

Footpatrol

Address: 80 Berwick Street, London W1F 8TUOpening hours: Monday to Saturday 10:00 to 19:00, Sunday 12:00 to 18:00

The heritage pick and the shop most people name first. Footpatrol has had a base in London since 2002 and moved to Soho in 2010, building a following that treats the store as a meeting point rather than just retail.

The selection covers the latest releases alongside rare Japanese exclusives and deadstock that is genuinely hard to find elsewhere. The Wilson Brothers designed the wood and black steel interior, and the shop regularly hosts launch events for hyped releases.

Nearest tube is Oxford Circus. Note that opening hours vary slightly between listings, with some sources giving a 10:00 Sunday start.

END.

Address: 59 Broadwick Street, Carnaby, London W1F 9QSOpening hours: Monday to Wednesday and Friday 10:00 to 19:00, Thursday 10:00 to 20:00, Saturday 09:00 to 19:00, Sunday 11:30 to 18:00

The largest and most spectacular of the lot. END. opened its Soho flagship in 2018 across two floors built from marble, stainless steel, mirror and maple.

The sneaker floor is upstairs, carrying current releases alongside END.'s own collaborations, and a sneaker wall runs across the entire corner of the glass facade. The store also hosts activations and panel talks.

The brand mix leans wide: Common Projects, New Balance, Nike, adidas and Converse, plus luxury designers and contemporary fashion downstairs.

size?

Address: 32-34 Carnaby Street, London W1F 7DWAlso at: 12 Electric Avenue, London SW9 8JX and 135 Brompton Road, London SW1X 7XL

size? started in London and runs three stores in the city. The Carnaby Street branch is the best known and sits in the middle of the Soho cluster, with a strong selection of sneakers, clothing and caps.

Opening hours differ by location, so check before travelling to Brixton or Knightsbridge.

Patta London

Address: Soho, LondonOpening hours: Monday to Friday 12:00 to 18:00, Saturday 11:00 to 18:00, Sunday 12:00 to 17:00

The Amsterdam label's London outpost, with an interior by designer Lili de Goede built on a minimalist approach that lets the product speak. Reliable for streetwear alongside the footwear.

Note the late weekday opening at midday. Patta is not the shop to start your morning with.

Trading Desk

Address: 7 Walker's Court, London W1F 0BTOpening hours: Sunday to Friday 12:00 to 19:00, Saturday 11:00 to 19:00

A resale and consignment store tucked into a Soho side street. Worth a look for grails that have left retail, and prices here can occasionally run below what you would expect.

Supreme, Palace and Dover Street Market

All three sit within the Soho cluster and all three are worth building into the same walk. Supreme and Palace run their own drop schedules, so check before travelling if a specific release is the reason for the trip.

Beyond Soho

BSTN London

Address: London

The German retailer's London store is one of the most visually striking retail spaces in the city. Christian Boszczyk and Dusan Cvetkovic designed the flagship, using stainless steel and sanded concrete to build what reads as a retro-future setting for the product.

BSTN also runs the highest cashback rate of any store on this list.

Offspring

Address: London

A long-standing London retailer with a solid record on limited releases. Offspring is worth checking alongside the Soho boutiques rather than instead of them.

Presentedby

Address: London

A consignment store created in partnership with Crep Protect, built as a hybrid of exhibition space and retail. The selection covers recent releases alongside resale, and the space itself is part of the draw.

Buying online with cashback

Four of the stores above run webshops covered by the Soleback cashback programme, which returns part of the order value:

• BSTN, up to 5 percent back

• Solebox, up to 4.5 percent back

• END., up to 3.5 percent back

• Sneakersnstuff, up to 3 percent back

• size?, up to 2.5 percent back

• Offspring, up to 1.5 percent back

On a £140 pair the 5 percent rate returns £7. The click through Soleback needs to be the last one before the shop, and cashback lands after the returns window closes.

What to know before you go

Sunday hours are shorter. Most Soho stores open later and close earlier on Sundays, typically noon to 18:00. The day works, but it is not a full one.

Soho is walkable end to end. Berwick Street, Broadwick Street and Carnaby Street sit within a few minutes of each other. You do not need transport between them.

Drops are usually Thursday or Saturday. Supreme runs Thursdays, most boutiques run Saturday mornings. Both mean queues.

Check Instagram before travelling. London stores announce stock and launches there ahead of their websites, and Footpatrol runs a dedicated Launches signup service.

A one-day route through London

Morning: Berwick Street and Broadwick Street. Footpatrol first, since it opens at 10:00, then END. a few minutes away.

Late morning: Carnaby Street. size? at 32-34, plus Supreme, Palace and Dover Street Market in the surrounding streets.

Midday onwards: the rest of Soho. Patta once it opens at noon, then Trading Desk on Walker's Court.

Afternoon: everything else. BSTN, Offspring and Presentedby, depending on where you are staying.

Soho alone fills half a day comfortably, and unlike Berlin you can do it on a Sunday.
