                <p>A list of supermarkets based in the UK which have dedicated periods of lower background noise levels and similar measures for people with conditions such as autism which can make shopping in these environments extremely challenging to impossible.</p>

                <p>I am not endorsed by any entities listed here, nor is this intended to be an exhaustive list of establishments which have quiet hours. All trademarks are present for the purpose of identification of the relevant brands and I do not claim any ownership of them.</p>

                <p>Click on any of the establishments below to be taken to a page which explains the specific measures taken.</p>
