HGV class 1 driver jobs in Lewisham

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Lewisham figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 100 warehousing and storage jobs in Lewisham, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Lewisham was £42,962 a year in 2025, across every occupation in the area together. It is not a driving figure, and no local driving figure is published anywhere, because earnings are not broken down by occupation at this level.
