Rolats ships cargo to Nigeria from Peckham — the beating heart of Nigerian London. We collect free from Rye Lane, Peckham High Street, Bellenden Road or anywhere across SE15, bring it to our Dagenham depot, then send it by air (£5.90/kg + £20 handling) into Lagos and Abuja or by sea (from £70 per bag) via the Lagos ports. Door-to-door to all 36 states, Form M and SONCAP handled, and nothing to pay when it reaches your family in Nigeria.
Shipping to Nigeria from London's 'Little Lagos'
No street in Britain feels closer to Nigeria than Rye Lane. Its market stalls, foodshops, fabric traders, and money-transfer counters are why Peckham is nicknamed 'Little Lagos' — and why sending cargo home is part of everyday life here. We collect right across SE15:
- Rye Lane & Peckham High Street — barrels of provisions, boxes of foodstuffs, fabric and trade goods
- Peckham Rye, Bellenden Road & Nunhead — household goods and personal effects
- Queen's Road & the Aylesham Centre area — flats, removals and larger loads
One call books a free pickup — you don't carry a thing to Dagenham.
The Peckham barrel run to Nigeria
The classic Peckham shipment is a drum of garri, egusi, dried fish and provisions, a few 'Ghana Must Go' bags of clothes, and boxes for family in Lagos or the east. We handle it end to end — collect from your SE15 flat, weigh and consolidate at Dagenham, and pick the cheaper route. Sending foodstuffs by sea? We'll advise how to pack so nothing spoils on the four-to-six-week crossing to Apapa or Tin Can Island.
Air or sea to Nigeria from Peckham?
- Air freight — £5.90/kg + £20 handling; into Lagos or Abuja in a few working days. Best for documents, phones, medicine and anything urgent.
- Sea cargo — from £70 per bag; about 4–6 weeks via the Lagos ports. Best for barrels, boxes, furniture, vehicles and full 20ft/40ft containers.
Tell us what you're sending from Peckham and we'll point you to the cheaper option.
Nigeria customs — Form M & SONCAP, sorted
Nigerian imports can need a Form M (through a Nigerian bank) and, for regulated goods, a SONCAP certificate. As an HMRC Customs Authorised, EORI-registered forwarder we prepare the UK export paperwork and coordinate Form M, SONCAP and PAAR at the Lagos end — so your Peckham cargo clears cleanly and isn't held at the port.
