What the official data says about Southwark
Multi-drop van work sits squarely inside postal and courier activities, counted at 540 employee jobs in Southwark, 0.19% of the 289,000 employee jobs in the area.
Parcel volume follows population and depot placement rather than local industry, so an area with a sorting hub in it carries a count well above its size. Taking freight, warehousing and courier work together, Southwark records 1,090 employee jobs, 0.38% of everything counted locally.
UK Business Counts recorded 110 postal and courier activities workplaces in Southwark at the March 2025 reference date, 10 of them employing ten people or more. 100 of them, 90.9%, employ under ten, and many of those are owner-drivers, so employment status matters more here than the vehicle.
Of the postal and courier activities employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Southwark, 50 are part time, 8.5% of the split. The middle across London is 13.5%, so Southwark sits below it, 29th of 33 areas on this measure. That is a mostly full-time split, which tends to go with employed rounds on a fixed rota.
Two further counts round out the Southwark picture: 400 employee jobs in warehousing and storage, and 150 employee jobs in freight transport by road.
Measured on postal and courier activities, share of all employee jobs, Southwark ranks 13th of the 33 areas in London. The middle across London is 0.15%, against 0.19% in Southwark. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 0.19%. Next to Southwark in that order sit Haringey at 0.21% and Croydon at 0.18%.
On the separate business register count of postal and courier workplaces employing under 10, Southwark ranks 22nd of the 33 areas in London. The middle across London is 130, against 100 in Southwark. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 145. Next to Southwark in that order sit Merton at 105 and Islington at 80.
That is the size of the courier trade in Southwark, 540 jobs across 110 workplaces, not a count of rounds going spare. Live adverts are listed above and nowhere else on the page.
