CRP Launches Ambitious Pan-London Freight Flow Study
26th February 2025 / Posted by Sarah MeertensThis month CRP launched an ambitious Freight Flow Study, outlining actions to make freight logistics in London cleaner, safer, and more efficient.
With freight activity expected to grow in the coming years, CRP’s report sets out a clear pathway to address these challenges and create a logistics system that benefits businesses, residents, and the environment. The study identifies opportunities to encourage the shift to low-emission vehicles, improve freight infrastructure, enhance safety for vulnerable road users, and adopt innovative, data-driven solutions.
Delivered in collaboration with Steer consultants, the report features case studies from the London Boroughs of Lambeth, Hackney, and Ealing, providing real-world insights into the relationship between freight activity and its effects on air quality, congestion, and health.

CRP’s Freight Flow Study is part of Smarter Greener Logistics (SGL), a Defra-funded project led by Westminster City Council in collaboration with 25 project partners. The project aims to minimise the impact of freight on noise, air quality, traffic and pavement space in London by making improvements across 14 London boroughs and two London Business Improvement Districts (BIDs).
