Barking & Dagenham

Business travel during the Games

Hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games is a huge logistical challenge, similar in scale to hosting the FA Cup Final, Wimbledon, concerts across the Capital and the London Marathon all on the same day, every day, but over several weeks. Events will be taking place right across London and the UK, with central London particularly busy as it effectively becomes a massive sporting and cultural events venue.

For help to minimise the impact of the Games to your business travel needs contact Transport for London. Start planning now by visiting: www.tfl.gov.uk/london2012

On 30 November, the Secretary of State for Transport and the Commissioner of Transport for London, released Games transport ‘hotspot’ information to ensure London is ‘open for business’ in 2012. Read the full statement here.

Business deliveries

If you have any questions about out of hours deliveries and want to check any conditions that apply to your business or any business you deliver to in Barking and Dagenham please e-mail info@boldanddynamic.co.uk with the details and we’ll get back to you.

Are you planning to arrange night time deliveries during the Games?
Transport for London have produced a code of practice for quieter out of hours deliveries. This will help minimise the impact of these deliveries on residents.
