Some Government offices particularly in rural areas tend to close for lunch between 1:00 pm. and 2:00 pm. but stay open until 5:30 pm, however the number of such organizations is decreasing, with most working throughout the day. For shops, opening hours have been almost completely deregulated, with some supermarkets opening 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Banks are generally open from 9:30 am. to 4:30 pm. on weekdays, with most now having extended opening hours on one or two evenings in the week and a half day on Saturdays. Shops, restaurants and tourist attractions tend to open longer hours in London and in larger cities around the UK.
