Is Amazon gearing up for Fresh start in London?

Amazon has taken a ten-year lease on a warehouse in Weybridge, Surrey – prompting speculation that this could be the distribution hub for the Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service which the company is reportedly poised to launch in London. The online retailer giant has confirmed that is opening a facility in Weybridge, but declined to comment on “rumour and speculation” that it would be launching Amazon Fresh in the UK.

As previously reported, Amazon launched its Amazon Prime Now one-hour delivery service in London on 30 June, and then extended the service to Birmingham last week.
