If a company wants to break out of its home region and get attention on a nationwide level, it has to be prepared to put its goods on the market to potential buyers in London.
Recognised as a Global City, business success in London can easily spread much more widely, especially when that concern has the support of a reliable and efficient parcel delivery company.
With a population of more than eight and a quarter million, London is the biggest single market in the UK for any company, while combined with its wider metropolitan area, it covers an area of nearly 8,500 square miles, and parts of what is now recognised as Greater London take in six counties apart from the historic cities of London and Westminster.
London is historically divided into 32 boroughs, stretching from Hillingdon in the west to Havering in the east, and from Enfield in the north to Croydon in the south. As befits a major capital city, London is the hub of a massive transport network. Three major airports serve the city, at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, while the busiest road and rail systems in the UK all converge on London.
It is the most flown-over city in the world, while the underground rail network is, after the New York Metro, the world's second longest mass transit system. London is widely acknowledged as one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities, with more than a quarter of its population born outside the UK according to the 2001 census. Other countries whose nationals have a substantial presence in the city include India, the Irish Republic, Bangladesh and Jamaica.
Despite the woes of recent times, finance remains the biggest-contributing sector to London's economy, even though its massive tourism industry employs more people.
Sending a parcel to London from all parts of the UK, and the world, is made easy by the fact that it is regarded as so central to the world's economy. Massive resources are concentrated on the city by both UK and international couriers, and this brings a level of competition which is good news for anyone looking to send a parcel to London, because there are delivery options available to suit every budget and timeframe.
Any business can count on receiving excellent service when it needs a London courier service, because operators realise that, like any business, getting themselves noticed in London is a key to success on any scale.
Worldwide courier companies offering London parcel delivery can be compared for both price and quality of service by looking online.
