London businesses struggling with sales due to the cost-of-living crisis are calling on the government to relax Sunday trading rules in the capital.

Sunday Trading regulations date back to the Sunday Fares Act of 1448, when the last day of the week was traditionally a religious day of rest.

In 1994 this changed when the Sunday Trading Act was brought in, allowing small shops to open for as long as they want on Sundays - but large shops over 3,000sq ft are still only allowed to open for six hours.
