The relocation was from Farringdon to Tower Hamlets, and took place yesterday. Sustrans London director Matt Winfield, said:Our office move using cargo bikes just goes to prove it is possible to relocate the contents of a sizeable workplace in a busy capital city like London, in a way that is environmentally sound. We’re looking forward to continuing our exciting work, empowering communities across London to create happier places.”In a statement, Cllr Kyrsten Perry, Tower Hamlets Cycling Champion, welcomed the move by Sustrans London.
