The scheme is part of the company’s expanding network of pedestrian delivery routes in London, after successful pilot schemes in Hackney, Westminster, and Islington.
Delivery people will collect packages from strategically parked vans and complete deliveries on foot throughout the borough, helping to reduce traffic congestion and cut emissions.
Camden councillor Adam Harrison, who is responsible for planning and a sustainable Camden, said: “One of our commitments in the freight and servicing action plan was to reduce van emissions from deliveries and servicing trips.
“To that end, we are partnering with Amazon to support a trial of walking deliveries from a private industrial site in Camden.
“We hope that this trial will help reduce van miles and improve local air quality.
“We will monitor the impacts closely and use the findings to shape future freight policy.”
The move is part of Amazon’s wider efforts to decarbonise its UK operations and deliver more packages with zero-emission transport.
In addition to expanding on-foot deliveries, Amazon is rolling out more than 800 new electric vans across the country.
The company has also begun deploying the UK’s largest-ever order of electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs), part of a major investment to reduce its carbon footprint.
Nicola Fyfe, EU VP of Amazon Logistics, said: “The first vehicles from our record-breaking eHGV order are now on Britain’s roads, transporting products between our hubs.
“This marks a major milestone in our journey to decarbonise our UK transportation network.
“These trucks, alongside more electric vans and on-foot deliveries, are a win for our customers, the environment, and our business.”
In London alone, Amazon’s on-foot delivery associates have already delivered more than one million packages in 2025.
The company says the Camden pilot will be closely monitored to assess its impact on traffic and air quality.
Amazon’s approach supports Camden’s wider sustainability goals and aligns with London’s ambitions to reduce emissions from freight and servicing.
The pedestrian delivery model is designed to complement existing low-emission transport, such as electric vans, and contribute to a cleaner, quieter urban environment.
