Abbey Wood's Elizabeth Line arrival has fuelled a fast-growing Nigerian community across SE2. Rolats collects free — from Wilton Road and Harrow Manorway to the streets near Lesnes Abbey and the Thamesmead border — to our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street. Air freight £5.90/kg + £20 handling reaches Lagos and Abuja in a few working days; sea cargo from £70 per bag runs 4–6 weeks via the Lagos ports. Form M, SONCAP and PAAR are handled and every quote is door-to-door, all-in GBP — nothing to pay in Nigeria.
A well-connected corner for the diaspora
Since the Elizabeth Line opened at Abbey Wood station, SE2 has become one of South-East London's most sought-after spots — and Nigerian families have moved here in numbers, close to Lesnes Abbey park and the Thamesmead riverside.
Great as the transport is, no one wants to wheel a barrel through a station. We collect free from your door and take the strain instead.
Free collection, then straight to Nigeria
