What's so special about London Gateway?
London Gateway is the fastest growing Freeport location in the UK, and it's easy to see why.
The port sits at the mouth of the Thames, right next to one of the world's busiest shipping channels.
Only 30 miles from central London and with excellent road infrastructure serving the rest of England's south-east, it provides unrivalled access to the UK's major consumer concentration.
