UK-based open parcel locker network provider Yeep! has partnered with Places for London, the Transport for London Property Company, to deploy solar-powered parcel lockers across more than 50 TfL locations across the capital, integrating out-of-home parcel services into existing public transport infrastructure.

According to Parcel and Postal Technology International, the first locker is now operational at South Woodford, with installations underway at a further ten parking lots at Tube stations. Broader rollout plans are being explored for future phases of the programme.

Jamie Dickinson, CEO of Yeep!, said: "This partnership is about integrating parcel services into places that already form part of people's daily journeys, giving consumers additional flexibility around how they collect, send and return parcels. It also provides a compelling opportunity to support more efficient delivery networks that can help reduce unnecessary journeys, ease congestion and contribute to broader efforts to lower CO2 emissions across the capital."

Dickinson added that the partnership carries particular significance given its origins. "The thinking and ambition that helped shape Yeep! began with TfL several years ago and seeing that vision now come full circle is incredibly rewarding," he said.

Gordana Hauselmaier, commercial asset manager at Places for London, said: "Parcel lockers provide convenience to customers, as well as helping us reduce congestion caused by deliveries on our roads, therefore reducing traffic noise and improving London's air quality. It's great that we are now working with Yeep! to further support Londoners' demand for online shopping in a sustainable manner."

The lockers will give Londoners 24/7 access to collect, send and return parcels while on the move, providing delivery and returns options that can be accessed alongside existing travel routines without requiring dedicated journeys. The solar-powered infrastructure aligns with broader sustainability objectives across the TfL estate, reducing reliance on grid energy at individual locker sites.

The rollout reflects growing demand across the UK logistics sector for out-of-home delivery infrastructure as parcel volumes continue to rise and last-mile operators seek alternatives to failed home delivery attempts, which remain one of the most costly and carbon-intensive elements of the final-mile network.
