About Swindon & Andover
Swindon & Andover form a logistics corridor spanning 35 miles along the M4 and A34/A303, connecting the South West with Southampton and the South East. The town sits approximately 80 miles west of London and 40 miles east of Bristol at the intersection of the M4 and A419, placing it within one hour of Heathrow, Bristol Airport and Southampton port.
Its defining development is Panattoni Park Swindon: the 918 million redevelopment of the former Honda UK manufacturing plant. At M4 Junction 15, the 360-acre site is being transformed into up to 7.2 million sq ft of net zero carbon logistics, manufacturing and data centre space across 11 buildings. The first speculative unit of 545,000 sq ft achieved practical completion in February 2026 and is immediately available. A second unit of approximately 917,000 sq ft is due to complete in April 2026 and will be the largest speculative warehouse ever built in the UK. At full build-out, Panattoni Park is projected to support 7,000 jobs on site and a further 4,000 in the supply chain.
G Park Swindon (GLP) at South Marston provides an 80,927 sq ft build-to-suit logistics opportunity on the A419, targeting BREEAM certification and 100% PV-ready. Walker Logistics operates a purpose-built 40,000 sq ft fulfilment centre near M4 Junction 16. Wasdell Group has established pharmaceutical contract logistics operations from Blagrove, Swindon.
Andover, 35 miles south on the A303 and A34, provides established distribution capacity at Walworth Business Park, where Co-op (400,000 sq ft), Ocado (250,000 sq ft) and other major occupiers have taken units. Logistics City Andover on the same park offers up to 487,605 sq ft of B2/B8 space adjacent to the A303, approximately 30 minutes from Southampton port.
Why this region
Panattoni Park Swindon: 918 Million, 7.2M sq ft Mega Development
Panattoni Park Swindon is the largest logistics and industrial redevelopment in the UK. The 360-acre former Honda UK plant at M4 Junction 15 is being transformed into up to 7.2 million sq ft of net zero carbon logistics, manufacturing and data centre space across 11 buildings. 98% of demolition waste from the Honda plant was recycled. The first speculative unit, 545,000 sq ft, achieved practical completion in February 2026 and is immediately available to occupiers. The second unit, approximately 917,000 sq ft and built by McLaren Construction, completes in April 2026 and is the largest speculative warehouse ever constructed in the UK. At full build-out, the park is projected to support 7,000 jobs on site and 4,000 more in the supply chain. All buildings are built to net zero carbon in construction with rooftop PV and EV charging. The 918 million investment is transforming Swindon into a major UK logistics destination.
M4 Midpoint: London, Bristol, Southampton and the Ports
Swindon's position at M4 Junctions 15 and 16 gives logistics operators a true South of England midpoint. London Paddington is approximately 80 miles east with one-hour motorway access. Bristol and Avonmouth port lie 40 miles west via the M4, approximately 40 minutes. The Port of Southampton is reachable in approximately one hour via the A34 and A303, making Swindon one of the few inland locations with sub-60-minute access to a major deep-water container terminal. Reading and the Thames Valley are approximately 30 minutes east, Oxford approximately 35 minutes via the A419. Heathrow is approximately one hour and Bristol Airport one hour, supporting air cargo handling requirements. Andover, 35 miles south, provides a complementary location for port-focused distribution with 30-minute access to Southampton by road via the A303 and A34.
Competitive Costs With Deep Logistics Labour Market
Wiltshire and northern Hampshire offer significantly lower operating costs than competing locations to the east. Swindon's average logistics rents sit materially below Reading, the Thames Valley and West London, while business rates reflect the structural difference between Wiltshire and Greater London rateable values. The Swindon labour market has 36 years of Honda manufacturing heritage: the workforce is experienced in precision manufacturing, just-in-time logistics and large-format warehouse operations. Swindon Borough has a working-age population of approximately 160,000 and comparatively affordable housing, supporting staff retention. Andover and Test Valley offer similar cost advantages alongside good access to the Hampshire and Wiltshire labour pool. For businesses relocating from London, Reading or the outer South East, the combined cost savings on rates, rent and labour are material over a typical lease term.
G Park Swindon: Build-to-Suit at South Marston on the A419
G Park Swindon (GLP) at South Marston provides a 80,927 sq ft build-to-suit logistics warehouse on the A419, with direct road access to M4 Junction 15. The facility targets BREEAM certification and is 100% PV-ready, with LED lighting, rainwater harvesting and low-carbon construction materials. Clear internal height is 12.5 metres with 16 dock doors and two level-access points. South Marston is an established distribution location: the area is home to B&Q's regional distribution centre and sits within the South Marston Business Park cluster. G Park Swindon provides a modern specification alternative for occupiers that require a smaller or mid-range footprint within the established M4 corridor, separate from the large-format units at Panattoni Park.
Andover: Southampton Port Corridor on the A303 and A34
Andover lies 35 miles south of Swindon on the A303/A34 corridor, approximately 30 minutes from Southampton port by road. Walworth Business Park is the established distribution hub, with major occupiers including Co-op (400,000 sq ft) and Ocado (250,000 sq ft). Logistics City Andover, a design-to-suit scheme on the same park, offers up to 487,605 sq ft of B2/B8 space across units from 31,695 sq ft to 219,185 sq ft, adjacent to the A303. Andover provides competitive rents, good labour availability from the Hampshire market and strong port-proximate positioning for import and export operations through Southampton. The A34 running north connects Andover to Oxford, Bicester and the Midlands, making this a location suitable for both port-focused and national distribution.

Overview of warehousing and transport capacity across the region
Warehouse market overview
The Swindon and Andover warehouse market is being fundamentally reshaped by Panattoni Park Swindon. A first speculative unit of 545,000 sq ft achieved practical completion in February 2026 and is immediately available. A second unit of approximately 917,000 sq ft is due to complete in April 2026. Together these represent 1.46 million sq ft of Grade A speculative space completing in H1 2026, the largest concentration of new spec supply outside the Midlands Golden Triangle. G Park Swindon at South Marston offers an 80,927 sq ft build-to-suit unit. Established industrial estates around Blagrove, Stratton St Margaret and the A419 corridor provide secondary and mid-range space from SME units upwards. Indurent Park at Chippenham (M4 Junction 17) provides additional modern warehousing 15 miles west of Swindon. Andover's Walworth Business Park has established mid-range availability. Logistics City Andover offers design-to-suit space adjacent to the A303. Overall vacancy across the combined corridor is ample, driven by the unprecedented Panattoni spec supply. Established estates across both towns are well occupied, reflecting the region's mature logistics base.
