Leaflet distribution SE1
Table of Contents
Introduction
SE1 is a large postcode very near the center of London. Located just south of the river Thames it covers Waterloo, the South Bank, Southwark, Borough and parts of Lambeth and Bermondsey.
SE1 is an iconic part of London. Within its borders you can find the famous London Eye, the Borough Market, the Tower Bridge, the London Bridge and the tallest building in the UK – The Shard.
It is located right across the river from the Houses of Parliament, St.Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London.
It’s border is partially made up of New Kent Road and Old Kent Road in the south, Southwark Park Road in the east, Lambeth Palace Road in the west and Southwark Street in the north.
SE1 is as well connected as any place in London. Lambeth North and Waterloo stations allow the locals access to the Bakerloo Line. Southwark, Waterloo, Borough and London Bridge stations to the Jubilee and Northern Line.
The Waterloo, Waterloo East and London Bridge stations also connect to the Southern, Thameslink, Southeastern and South Western Railway services. Waterloo station being particularly notable due to its size and importance as a transportation hub.
As SE1 is fairly centrally located and it serves as an important tourist and commercial hub, many of the areas within it are not suitable for residential leaflet distribution. However, when we look carefully, we can find some parts of this busy postcode that will be suitable for door to door distribution.
Lambeth
Like much of SE1, Lambeth is a densely built up area with many households located in blocks of flats, most of which are not deliverable.
We’ll also find some industrial and commercial areas here like Lambeth Palace Road, which are not suitable for leaflet distribution either.
Lambeth also includes some smaller roads with classic Georgian and Victorian terraced houses. However, these are in relatively small numbers and are quite dispersed.
As such, Lambeth as a whole is not one of the areas of SE1 we tend to recommend for leaflet distribution campaigns.
Borough
Borough is located roughly in the middle of the SE1 postcode, north of New Kent Road.
Borough, in parts, features some of the nicest residential architecture in SE1. Trinity Village and Trinity Street with it’s beautiful Georgian terraced houses being particularly notable.
As door to door leaflet distribution is focused on households with accessible letterboxes, the parts of Borough we tend to focus on are located towards the eastern part of the area. Especially around Grange Road.
In this area, we’ll find more classic Victorian and Georgian terraced houses as well as some homes built in the 20th century. Parts of the newly built blocks of flats here also allow for some flyer deliveries in this location.
Bermondsey
Bermondsey is probably the most residential part of the SE1 postcode. Its relatively lower density means that more of the households here are accessible to a leaflet distributor.
Many of the households here are located in terraced homes of various sizes. The most notable and beautiful ones often being Victorian. With that said, there is also a good number of more modern housing built here.
The area with the most deliverable addresses will mostly be located between Old Kent Road and Southwark Park Road.
When planning a leaflet distribution campaign in South, South-East and Central London, Bermondsey is an area worth considering.
Waterloo and Southwark
Both Waterloo and Southwark are famous and recognisable parts of London. Many of the cultural landmarks we’ve mentioned earlier are located here.
As an important transport hub, a commercial and a tourist area it is a very busy part of London with a lot of commercial activity. Amongst the intense bustle we can find a few unique residential streets.
Roupell Street and Whittlesey Street are particularly notable for their beautifully preserved Georgian architecture from the early to mid 19th century that is very much in contrast with the surrounding development.
The nearby Aquinas Street is also worth mentioning as it is another beautiful example of residential architecture, this time from the late 19th to early 20th century.
With all of that said, Waterloo and Southwark are both largely made up of commercial addresses and only a few residences with accessible letterboxes can be found here. As such we do not tend to recommend this area for door to door campaigns.
