Cargo to Nigeria from Hackney

Cargo to Nigeria collected across Hackney — Dalston, Stoke Newington, Clapton and Homerton.

Hackney is home to 5,239 Nigeria-born residents, the tenth largest community of any area we collect from. Dalston, Stoke Newington, Clapton and Homerton are the centre of it. Barrels, boxes, parcels and vehicles, to our Lagos office or on to any of the 36 states.

Hackney has been a Nigerian borough for a long time — Ridley Road market in Dalston has sold Nigerian food for decades, and the churches along Kingsland Road and in Clapton have congregations that go back to the 1970s and 80s.

From our Dagenham base it is a straightforward run west along the A12 and A107, and we collect right across the borough: barrels of provisions, boxes of clothes, parcels and documents by air.

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

About Hackney

The borough has changed faster than almost anywhere in London. Dalston and Shoreditch have gentrified hard, but the Nigerian community in Clapton, Homerton and around Ridley Road has largely stayed — and the traffic from here is steady family cargo rather than student shipments.

Parking and access are tighter here than in outer London. Tell us if you are on an estate or a controlled parking street and we will plan the collection accordingly.

What people here usually send

Family barrels of food staples and clothing
Boxes of household goods for relatives in Lagos and the South West states
Parcels and documents by air
Aso-ebi and fabric for occasions back home
