Certain postcodes within the London area will be affected much more than others. Vehicle arrivals between 0600hrs and 2400hrs will not be able to be loaded or offloaded on the street.

The surrounding areas of London and also cycling road race routes will be affected as will, we expect, the areas where the sailing competitions take place. Notably Weymouth and Dorset. Delivery companies are working on innovative ways of getting goods moving around London such as cycle delivery/collection and motorbike use.
We also expect there to be disruptions to flights and therefore courier or air freight items may also suffer a delay.
