Woolwich, Plumstead, Peckham, Thamesmead — where more of this cargo is delivered than anywhere else in Britain.
South-east London receives more of what we ship than any other part of the country. Greenwich alone is home to around one in twenty residents born in Nigeria, and Southwark, Lewisham and Bexley together account for much of the rest of what lands here.
In practice that means a lot of food parcels to residential addresses, and recipients who already know how cargo works. Most people in this zone have received a shipment before, which makes delivery straightforward.
We deliver to residential and business addresses across the zone. If your recipient lives in a block with a concierge or a parcel room, tell us when you book — it saves a failed delivery.

How delivery works
- Your cargo lands in the UK and clears customs.
- We contact the recipient to arrange a delivery time.
- Cargo is delivered to the door. Someone needs to be there to receive it.
We do not leave shipments unattended. Cargo on this route is usually too large, too valuable, or in the case of food parcels simply should not sit outside.
Before you send to South-East London
Flag the building type
Much of this zone is flats and estates. A working buzzer, a concierge or a parcel room changes how we deliver, and a failed attempt on a food parcel is worse than a delayed one.
- Give us a UK phone number that works. Almost every delayed delivery traces back to a recipient we could not reach.
- Check the contents are allowed before it leaves Nigeria, not after it lands. See what you can and cannot send.
Common questions
- Do you deliver to South-East London?
- Yes. Woolwich, Plumstead, Peckham, Thamesmead — where more of this cargo is delivered than anywhere else in Britain. We cover Woolwich, Plumstead, Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, Greenwich, Charlton and the surrounding area.
- What happens if nobody is home?
- We contact the recipient to arrange a time rather than leaving cargo on a doorstep. Shipments on this route are usually too large and too valuable to leave unattended, and food parcels should not sit outside.
- Who needs to be there to receive it?
- The named recipient, or someone they have told us will accept it on their behalf. Tell us in advance if it will be a neighbour, a concierge or a parcel room.
Other delivery zones

- Manchester — The largest Nigerian community outside London, and a zone plenty of cargo companies quietly do not serve properly.
