What the official data says about Islington

Warehousing and storage in Islington is counted at 125 employee jobs, 0.05% of the 265,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Picking and packing sit inside that count, along with goods in, stock control and shift management, because the survey counts sites rather than tasks. The 150 freight transport by road jobs in Islington are counted separately, and they are the vehicles those sites load.

UK Business Counts recorded 20 warehousing and storage sites in Islington at the March 2025 reference date. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. Every one of them is recorded as employing under ten: small stores and yards rather than distribution centres.

Of the warehousing and storage employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Islington, 15 are part time, 13% of the split. The middle across London is 16.7%, so Islington sits below it, 23rd of 33 areas on this measure. That is a full-time shift picture, with part-time hours around weekend and peak cover.

Two further counts round out the Islington picture: 100 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 375 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Measured on warehousing and storage, share of all employee jobs, Islington ranks 30th of the 33 areas in London. The middle across London is 0.29%, against 0.05% in Islington.
