Where? TIA.

Depends on what you mean by 'in London', but the Ford works/dock at
Dagenham, Cricklewood has a 'freight village' which is mostly an
intermodal transfer site plus a rubbish incinerator, there's another such
thing in Wembley, and there are aggregates terminals, where concrete and
such is brought in by rail and put into trucks to go to building sites,
all over the place. Some sort of oil stuff at Poyle, out west. Another
rubbish thing in Brentford. More besides that, i think. Plans are afoot to
build more intermodal terminals around the M25, but they're fairly
speculative, i think.

The London Construction Consolidation Centre does not seem to be
rail-connected, despite being next to a couple of railway lines. A
shortsighted decision, but one that might be rectifiable.
