Definitive Guide to London Gateway

This is your definitive guide to the UK’s most integrated logistics hub; a sustainable, strategically located, trade enabling centre of excellence on the River Thames.

The deep sea port and logistics park is supported by its own international rail terminal and is situated just 10 miles from the M25 and 28 miles from London, making it an accessible hub for import and export.

The site also offers convenient, modern warehousing space, with a logistics park equivalent in size to 400 football pitches – one of the biggest of its kind in Europe. Facilities offer absolute flexibility, from building size and layout to length of lease.

The port is equipped with top-of-the-range equipment, including some of the largest quay cranes in the world, as well as automation in many areas, such as the truck handling process and stacking yard.

London Gateway offers logistics and shipping companies, retailers and manufacturers a unique opportunity to work more efficiently and sustainably, closer to key consumer markets, in turn reducing road miles and offering a full service on one site.
