The Walworth Road Bookable Loading Bays
We are working with Southwark Council to support the reduction of congestion in the Walworth Road area with better management of loading bay activity for freight operators on this busy High Street during peak hours. Walworth Road is a busy thoroughfare for bus routes, people and deliveries and was recently set up as a low emission neighborhood. The project will help to improve access for delivery operators when dropping off or picking up goods from local businesses.
There are five loading bays in total, accompanied by double sided e-ink smart signs at each end. One of the bays specifically meets HGV access requirements.

SAFER DELIVERIES
The Swan Virtual Loading Bay (VLB)
We have worked with The Swan Pub in Bankside to provide a specific Virtual Loading Bay for their appointed suppliers. The bay will help to support safer deliveries and better coordination of the supply of goods and services to the pub. The bay can be booked via the Kerb® Delivery app by approved suppliers delivering specifically to the venue.

The Kerb Dock Project: Enabling River to Road Logistics
CROSS-DOCKING
Kerb-Dock: London’s most innovative Cross-Docking Project
The Kerb-Dock project showcased the potential of dynamically allocating kerb space by riverside pier and wharf locations to enable cross-docking of light freight from river to road for greener last mile deliveries in the city.
Freight operators using the bays for their EV or cargo bike vehicles gained delivery certainty, reduced road mileage and fewer missed deliveries by booking the loading bays in advance for a desired time slot, using the intuitive Kerb® Delivery driver app.
SMARTER KERBSIDES
The East Dulwich Loading Bays
The East Dulwich project manages loading bay activity on Grove Vale, helping local businesses receive deliveries while reducing congestion at peak times. The bay operates as loading-only Mon–Sat, 7am–7pm, encouraging safer, more compliant deliveries.
When not in use for loading, the space reverts to pedestrian use, supporting safer streets and a fairer, more efficient use of kerb space.
