Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre, Distribution center in Canning Town, United Kingdom
The Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre is a logistics facility in Canning Town housed within a converted brick warehouse structure. The building features organized distribution areas where accreditation passes and uniforms were issued through a streamlined system.
The building was constructed in 1925 as a brick warehouse for Canning Town Glass Works. It was later converted to serve as a distribution center during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The facility processed 70,000 volunteers and 27,000 staff members during the Olympic Games, marking a significant moment in London's sporting history.
The facility is located opposite Star Lane DLR station, making it accessible by public transport. Today the building serves different purposes and is not open to the public as a distribution center.
The centre processed more than 97,000 people during the Olympic Games, including volunteers and staff members. This massive mobilization made it a central hub in the preparation of the sporting event.
