LONDON

In London, the size of the city and the spread of the population mean that a multiple facility strategy will be required and will also include the need for inner-city locations, particularly to central serve areas with high levels of demand from people and businesses. This map shows that coverage of the city is achievable using a suggested strategy of five facilities in city-edge locations distributing in a 30 minute drivetime and three in highly central locations, distributing to a smaller area of 15 minutes but with high demand. This is an indicative strategy only but serves to illustrate that given London’s geographic size, population and population density as well as likely volume of parcels, a multiple facility strategy to cover the city is required. Together they achieve near total coverage across London.
