Logistics hubs have an important role to play in promoting healthy and efficient deliveries in London. They act as a crucial step for sorting deliveries, which can reduce the number of vehicle trips and congestion, to then enable deliveries to be made on electric vehicle, by bike or on foot. This reduces harmful exposure to toxic air pollutants that are bad for our health.
Cross River Partnership has worked with transport consultants Steer to identify potential logistics hub sites in London through this report. This has been funded by the Transport for London supported Central London Sub-Regional Transport Partnership which CRP manages. The map has also been developed by the Defra-funded Clean Air Villages 4 project, which supports 26 public and private project partners to reduce pollution by ambitious, clean air freight interventions in London.

What is a Logistics Hub?
A logistics hub is a site that couriers use for their day-to-day deliveries as a place to receive, sort and then send deliveries to their destination. They range in size and nature of operations. Larger sites hosting fleets of electric vans are referred to as logistics hubs.
What is a Micro Site?
A micro site is also a logistics hub that functions in the same way as a larger site, except smaller sites hosting cargo bikes are often referred to as micro sites.
What are examples of hubs in practise?
There are already a variety of established logistics hubs in central London. Parcel delivery company DPD provides distribution services from a logistics hub in Westminster, utilising a fleet of 10 electric vans and eight micro-vehicles. In December 2020, The City of London approved its first Last Mile Logistics Hub for Amazon Logistics.
