The 482,000 sq ft automated warehouse is a joint enterprise between the port operator and the global contract logistics provider, DHL Supply Chain, at DP World London Gateway.
“The most striking feature of this new letting is DHL’s significant investment in automation that underpins its commitment to this strategic location,” said Oliver Treneman, Park Development Director at DP World London Gateway.
“DHL will benefit from the right location, the right infrastructure and the right technology to serve Greater London and the South East over the long term.”

This is the largest warehouse development on the site to date. When completed the facility located at Plot 3040 in the heart of London Gateway’s Logistics Park, will offer direct access to the United Kingdom’s most connected trade hub.
With advanced port and rail terminals on site, Logistics Park occupants become part of a multimodal supply chain that is faster, cheaper and more sustainable.
Work to prepare the Plot 3040 on London Gateway’s Logistics Park is underway, with the main facility build due to commence in early 2021. On completion, DHL will lease the facility from DP World London Gateway.
The 42m high bay warehouse will feature 36m of clear internal eaves height and boast an internal volume equivalent to 645 Olympic swimming pools. The facility will be completed to a BREEAM Outstanding rating and will be fully automated, ready for operation in early 2023.
