Living in London doesn’t always come with acres of garden space – but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a stylish, functional, and totally Instagrammable outdoor set-up. Whether you’ve got a balcony, courtyard, or a compact back garden, Aldi’s 2025 garden range proves that size isn’t everything when it comes to creating your perfect urban oasis.
Launching in stores from April 24, with additional drops on April 27 and May 1, Aldi’s latest collection is full of smart, space-conscious, and affordable outdoor solutions ideal for the London lifestyle.
So, if you’re dreaming of transforming your city space into somewhere you can unwind, host friends, or soak up a bit of elusive sunshine, here’s everything you need to know.
Compact Living, Big Style
City life often means getting creative with space and Aldi’s range is designed with just that in mind.
Take the Melbourne Coffee Set (£99.99), for example. With its rope weave design and compact footprint, it’s made for smaller patios or terraces. Complete with comfy cushions, it’s perfect for morning coffee or sundowners after work.
Want something a bit more statement? The Marrakesh Bistro Set (£69.99) adds a splash of colour and charm with its iron frame and vibrant mosaic design. It’s an easy win for renters or homeowners looking to inject a little character into a tired space and it’s light enough to move if you’re shifting sun spots.
Turn Your London Patio Into a Garden Getaway
If you’re lucky enough to have a bit more room — maybe a shared garden in a townhouse conversion or a generous roof terrace — Aldi has brought back its Rattan Effect Corner Sofa Set (£199.99). Sleek, grey, and seriously comfy, this set comes with a footstool and plush cushions, giving you a premium outdoor lounge feel without the premium price tag.
Even better? The Acacia Garden Day Bed (£199.99) is like having four pieces of furniture in one. You can switch it between a corner sofa, twin loungers, a day bed, or a three-seater with a table, ideal if your outdoor space has to work double duty between relaxing and entertaining.
For urban hosts who want to impress without overspending, these are total game-changers.
Host in Style, Even After Dark
When the London sun dips below the skyline, your outdoor area doesn’t have to go dark. Aldi’s garden lighting range includes stylish, solar-powered options that let you keep the vibe going long into the evening… without needing any electrical wiring or extension cables.
The standout? The Fire Globe (£59.99) a sleek, black fire bowl that’s part heating solution, part statement feature. Gather your mates, crack open a bottle, and you’ve got the ultimate outdoor set-up for a cool Hackney night or a Peckham garden hangout.
You can also add ambience with:
- XL Penzance Lanterns (£19.99), perfect for soft, flickering light.
- Solar Marrakesh Lanterns (£9.99) for intricate patterns and boho feels.
- Solar Premium Garden String Lights (£7.99) in butterfly, bee, or flower shapes — great for balconies or railings.
Dress It Up – The Smart Way
No garden set-up is complete without the little extras that pull it all together. Whether you’ve got paving, decking or just plain old concrete, Aldi’s XL Outdoor Rugs (£7.99) help create that ‘indoor meets outdoor’ living vibe — with bold, on-trend patterns to suit any aesthetic.
The Olive Planters (from £4.99) come in fresh colours like blue, green and white, and they’re lightweight too, great if you need to move them around to chase the sun (or hide from your neighbour’s drone). Pair them with Hanging Baskets (£4.49) or Indoor & Outdoor Plant Shelves (£9.99) for a vertical garden effect, perfect for walls and fences.
Want to add that final bit of zen? Aldi’s Solar Water Fountains (£49.99) bring the relaxing sound of trickling water, with no plumbing required. Choose from a Moroccan tile style or a whimsical fairy scene to suit your taste.
City Garden Timing – When to Shop
As with all Aldi Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone — and trust us, this stuff does go fast. Here’s when to hit your local Aldi:
- April 24: Lighting, planters, rugs and bistro sets arrive.
- April 27: The much-hyped Rattan Effect Sofa and Acacia Day Bed drop.
- May 1: Final additions to the range go on sale.
If you want first pick, your best bet is to shop in-store early. Some pieces may appear online too, but in-store availability tends to be better, especially in and around Greater London.
Why Aldi’s Range Works for London Homes
Whether you’re a flat-dweller in Brixton with a Juliet balcony, or you’ve got a ground-floor garden in Walthamstow, the versatility and price point of Aldi’s new range makes it accessible to everyone.
- Space-saving designs: Many items are compact or modular ideal for squeezing into tight spots.
- No DIY drama: Most items are simple to assemble, which is a blessing if your toolkit consists of an IKEA hex key and wishful thinking.
- Budget-friendly luxury: You can elevate your outdoor set-up for under £200 which is practically unheard of in London.
And perhaps most importantly, Aldi gives you the tools to turn your garden ,no matter the size, into a lifestyle space. Whether you’re working from home al fresco, reading with your morning coffee, or hosting mates for drinks, this range helps you do it all, stylishly and affordably.
