Urban Microhub Alliance

A new alliance reshaping London’s streets through zero-emission delivery, shared infrastructure, and world-class micromobility innovation.

Join the Alliance

Last-mile deliveries are essential to London's economy, but the capital's infrastructure is at breaking point.

The Urban Microhub Alliance unites landlords, car park operators and delivery networks to repurpose underused spaces into hubs for zero-emission bikes and e-mopeds.

Each hub offers subscription-based access to delivery bikes, charging facilities and secure parcel storage, providing ready-to-use infrastructure for sustainable logistics.

This collaborative approach supports independent couriers and major operators alike, easing congestion, improving air quality and advancing London's sustainability goals.

Backed by PORT, Deliveroo, InPost and leading real estate partners, UMA is setting a new global benchmark for urban micromobility.
