London Gateway Port Advice

Is it really open 24/7 ? If I book to drop a 20 ft loaded box at say 7am Monday will I be in and away promptly or will it take forever ? Any thing else I need to know I would be grateful thanks Dan .

Merely strapping a box Brownie to your passenger door and yelling “caution, this vehicle is turning left” out of your window does NOT make your vehicle London compliant Dan! :wink:

I didn’t think it was in the Dvs zone m8 :open_mouth: ,
Although I’am appealing 4 £550 tfl fines at the min :blush:

I was under the impression London Gateway was inside the M25 bud (I may be wrong), if it’s inside then you need to be compliant my friend.

This is where I think it’s for ?

Yeah it’s outside then Dan so you’ll be ok. I honestly thought that it was Dagenham area, but then again I’ve never done boxes so have never paid much attention.

It’ll take forever, as although it’s open 24/7

But - like so many other places
Can’t get the staff these days…

The M25 doesn’t form GLA’s/TFL’s boundary.Purfleet is in Essex, Dartford and Swanley are in Kent.Molesey and Sunbury are in Surrey, Watford and Bushey are in Hertfordshire.
Unfortunately unlike Romford, Bromley, Kingston, Barnet and Borehamwood respectively.

southampton you need to do the port awareness test before your first visit, that’s a dp world too so not sure if gateway has the same process

Thought little cabs were exempt.
We have a handful of little actros…and was given one for a drop in Watford.
Queried it’s Compliance,and was told it don’t count.

You need your driving licence for a temporary card or passport for a proper card. When you go through the scanner at the entrance, keep left and park up at the barrier and walk to the portecabin and they will sort you out.

On youtube there are some good vids telling you what to do and I found them very helpful.

Lgw is below basildon so well away from London zone.


Thank you to all who replied,I was in and out under an hour including the induction screen :sunglasses:
