Cargo to Nigeria from Greenwich

Air and sea cargo to Nigeria collected across Greenwich and Woolwich.

Greenwich has 14,357 Nigeria-born residents — the largest Nigerian community of any area we collect from, anywhere in the country. We collect right across the borough, from Woolwich and Plumstead to Eltham and Charlton, and deliver to our Lagos office or on to any of the 36 states.

If you are sending cargo to Nigeria from Greenwich you are far from alone. This borough has the single largest Nigerian-born population of the 234 areas we collect from — larger than Southwark, larger than Barking & Dagenham, larger than Birmingham.

Woolwich in particular has become one of the most important West African centres in London, and the volume of cargo leaving this borough for Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt reflects that.

Population figures on this page are from the ONS 2021 Census (country of birth: Nigeria).

About Greenwich

Woolwich and Plumstead sit at the centre of it. The market, the churches and the food shops along Powis Street and Plumstead High Street serve a community that has grown steadily for two decades, and much of our Greenwich traffic starts within a mile of there.

The borough is also well placed for us — a short run from our Dagenham base across the river, which makes collection here routine rather than a special arrangement.

What people here usually send

Barrels of food and provisions, in volume
Clothing, fabric and aso-ebi for family occasions
Electronics and parcels by air
Household goods for relocations
